Nottingham Trent University (NTU) is one of the largest, and one of the most successful modern universities in the UK.

Top ten university for graduate employability

Nottingham Trent University has strong and extensive links with more than 6,000 employers around the world. These links were gained through our reputation for professional relevance and award-winning quality, of which we are very proud. It also helps to explain why we are so highly rated for the employability of our graduates; we are a ‘top ten’ university in England and Wales for our graduate employment, offering a great return on investment. (HESA data 2007/8)

How have we achieved this?

Our courses meet the needs of the graduate employment market. Our courses are designed in conjunction with industry through negotiation, dialogue and regular exchange with staff and students. Even our traditionally academic subjects will focus on transferable skills and their application to many careers. Consequently, our graduates occupy senior positions in companies all over the world, including Microsoft, HSBC, Rolls Royce, the BBC and many others.

Top ten university for work placements

With more than 6,000 corporate connections, we are able to provide a wide range of paid work placements and practical internships for our students as part of our undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. We are in the ‘top ten’ British universities for the number of students taking year-long work placements. (HESA data 2008/9)

Benefits of doing a work placement

Practical work experience has many benefits for you. It not only helps in your day-to-day studies, but it can give you a real advantage over your colleagues and peers. This period of supervised work experience, often paid, allows you to put your theoretical knowledge into practice in a real work environment. This enhances your commercial awareness and ability to link theory and practice which will be an invaluable skill in your future career.

A placement is also a great benefit if you are interested in working in the UK for a period after you graduate. It looks great on a CV, and in some cases it leads directly to employment within the same company. Although a work placement is highly recommended it is based on an individual’s efforts and is not guaranteed.
