Notts or Aston?

Both Nottingham and Birmingham are incredible places in terms of social opportunities.

I know lots of people who went to Trent and they all loved it. They particularly memtion how good it is for having fun. With the uni being in the centre of the Nottingham, it's hard to beat it for social life. You'd have a great time at Trent.

Aston is a short distance away from Birmingham but I only know a couple of people that went there.

What were their experinces in Aston? Frankly, Aston is the better uni for the course I want however I felt as though it wasnt as lively and at the end of the day I want to enjoy my time. Nottingham looks amazing, just not sure about how academic it is compared with Aston.

I haven't heard anything bad about Aston.

I can only really comment on how good Trent is.

In terms of rankings, I wouldn't pay too much attention to it unless one is considerably better than the other. I would imagine Aston and Trent are fairly level pegging.

You'll have lots of opportunities at whichever uni you pick.

mmh

Which is better Nottingham, Trent Uni or Aston? Im not only talking about the work side of things but also social life. Does Aston have a good social life or does Nottingham Trent? I want to study Marketing and the courses are pretty much the same. Thanks

Hey!

Fantastic to hear that you're interested in studying at NTU 😀

I graduated from NTU - studying BA Marketing (Class of 2019) and MSc Digital Marketing (Class of 2020). In terms of course content and practicality, I'd say NTU sets itself apart with its focus on work experience. Every course has work experience opportunities built-in, with the marketing courses at NTU also being accredited by the Chartered Institute of Marketing and Market Research Society. That gives you the opportunity to graduate with added qualifications in Marketing and Social Research, a CIM Certificate in Professional Marketing and a CIM Diploma in Professional Marketing.

In terms of social life, Nottingham has got a reputation for being one of the best student destinations with iconic sporting and music venues like Trent Bridge Cricket Ground, Motorpoint Arena and Rock City. There's also loads to get in involved with outside of lectures at the university like societies and sports clubs where you can meet people with similar interests and make new friends.

I'd definitely recommend visiting us at one of our open days to get a proper feel for Nottingham and what it's like to study at NTU.

Is NTU ethnically diverse?
