A university in Nottingham has landed yet another prestigious award. According to The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2023, Nottingham Trent University is the 'Modern University of the Year'.
Nottingham Trent University (NTU) landed the award for 2023. It had secured a top 20 position for overall undergraduate experience and, in terms of teaching quality, the university also overcame its pandemic blip to climb to 26th place on the leaderboard.
In 2019 NTU was crowned 'University of the Year' by The Guardian newspaper in recognition of its teaching quality and graduate employment rates, the title adding to NTU's ever-growing list of achievements after it was awarded the Times Higher Education University of the Year 2017 and the Times and Sunday Times Modern University of the Year 2018.

Speaking of the accolade professor Edward Peck, NTU's vice-chancellor and president, said: “We are immensely proud to learn that once again NTU has been named Modern University of the Year by The Times and The Sunday Times. We won this award for the first time in 2018.
"We have a unique track record in being a university of the year in four of the last six years. This award is the culmination of what has been an extraordinary year.
"We have strengthened our status as a world-leading research institution in the recent Research Excellence Framework results as well as receiving the Queen’s Anniversary Prize for our research. Most recently, we scored well above the sector average in the 2022 National Student Satisfaction Survey.
“We look forward to celebrating this award fully once our NTU community has joined with our nation in paying our respects to our late Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II."
The University of Nottingham ranked second in the East Midlands in the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide. It is a position it has held for the past four years.
NTU ranked fourth in the East Midlands, just below the University of Leicester. Meanwhile Loughborough University topped the East Midlands university rankings, sitting in eleventh place nationally, and the Leicestershire-based university narrowly missed out on an overall top ten spot, but still outperformed 16 of 24 Russell Group institutions.
A spokesperson for The University of Nottingham added: "The University of Nottingham ranks 18th out of all UK universities in both the QS and Times Higher Education World Rankings. We are pleased to be ranked 2nd in the East Midlands in the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide - a position we have held consistently for the past four years.
"We are particularly proud that the latest rankings have recognised our strong track record with employability - with 83 per cent of our graduates going into a highly skilled job or graduate-level further study after leaving Nottingham."
