Nottingham’s first civic college was opened inthe city centre in 1881. After the First WorldWar, the college expanded rapidly and outgrewits original building. A generous gift from SirJesse Boot, of 35 acres of land at Highfields,presented the solution. The land was to bedevoted to the college but was also to be aplace of recreation for the people ofNottingham, a value that is still held today asvisitors freely enjoy the landscaped woodlandsand parks that were created on the expanded300-acre site.

In 1928, the college moved to what is nowUniversity Park Campus. Initially it wasaccommodated in the elegant Trent Building, withits distinctive tower, and was officially opened byKing George V in November of that year. Anendowment fund was set up to support the furtherdevelopment of the site and to provide newcourses and scholarships.

Even in its early days on this site, the collegeattracted high-profile visiting lecturers includingProfessor Albert Einstein, Mahatma Gandhi andHG Wells.

In 1948, the college was awarded the RoyalCharter, becoming The University of Nottingham,with the ability to confer degrees in its own name.During this period, the Institute of Education wasfounded, and the School of Agriculture wasestablished when the Midland College ofAgriculture at Sutton Bonington merged withthe University.

Since then the University has continued to grow.The Medical School, the first to be established inthe 20th century, opened in 1970 and in 1995,the School of Nursing was formed, following themerger of the Mid-Trent College of Nursing andMidwifery. The £50-million phase-one JubileeCampus development opened in 1999, andsubsequently the prestigious National College forSchool Leadership has been co-located on the campus.

Since then, developments to Jubilee Campus have included a research and innovation park and Aspire, the UK’s tallest freestanding publicwork of art.

Other developments in the UK have included theestablishment of a Graduate Entry Medical Schoolin Derby in 2003, and the opening of the Schoolof Veterinary Medicine and Science at SuttonBonington Campus in September 2006.

Away from home, the University has launched two overseas campuses, in Malaysia and China, confirming its reputation as an international institution.
