Nottingham Business School is one of the UK's leading full-service Business schools, providing a wide range of Business and Management education services for individuals and organisations. With 30 years' experience, we offer a comprehensive suite of postgraduate full-time Masters courses and part-time professional courses.
About Nottingham Business School
In the last two decades, the face of business has been transformed by a range of factors including globalisation, the emergence of the knowledge economy and shifts in the nature of management itself. Nottingham Business School's courses have been developed in line with these changes. Our aim is to deliver courses which are business-related and customer-focused.
We can provide you with a generic background to business at an advanced level of understanding, or allow you to concentrate on a specific area in which you may already have an interest. Either approach will enable you to go further in your future career.
Students benefit from our close links with businesses, a strong record of international work and collaboration, an excellent international reputation for applied research, and the Business School's significant corporate management development work with public and private-sector organisations. Our courses are designed in consultation with businesses so that your aspirations are successfully matched with the needs of the business sector.
Location
Nottingham Business School is based in the heart of Nottingham City Centre. Staff are easily accessible at the campus and students have access to the Students' Union building and sports facilities, including a state-of-the-art fitness suite.
Minutes away from Nottingham's main shopping centres, the campus is buzzing with students. Many of the University residences are within walking distance of the City campus while others are only a short bus or tram ride away.
As well as being driven to succeed, Nottingham Business School students have a great sense of fun and adventure and are drawn to Nottingham's social reputation.
Facilities
Business School students have access to all of Nottingham Trent University's facilities including student support services, GP practices and the Boots Library including the virtual learning environment, NOW, and excellent IT facilities which play a huge part in student learning.
The historic Arkwright building and the iconic Newton building, one of the tallest structures in Nottingham, are both being transformed by a major regeneration project. These buildings will form the hub of Nottingham Trent University's city centre site and will offer Business School students a first-class learning and teaching provision with lecture theatres, IT resources and extensive student support facilities.
Research Opportunities
Nottingham Business School's active research community embraces academic staff, research fellows and doctoral students. Research is seen as an important activity to ensure the vitality and health of academic subjects. It underpins and enriches the teaching that takes place on undergraduate, postgraduate and professional courses.
Researchers within the Business School are well known internationally for the quality of their work, which is regularly published in leading management journals. The work undertaken by our researchers maintains a direct relevance to business practice, the interdisciplinary nature of which provides the rationale for our research themes which include:
- Applied economics and policy
- Employment, learning and knowledge management
- Public-sector management
- Innovation, entrepreneurship and technology management
- Retailing leisure and tourism

| Student Testimonials |
| Tesilimi Oladimeji Yusuf, MSc Economics and Finance

"The delivery of the course and the way the lecturers simplify each module in the course is quite amazing. It is quite informative and enlightening to know in-depth information about the economic and financial challenges of companies and governments. I also enjoy the fact that I have to do a lot of independent learning and prepare several reports.
"I already have a computing background, and I have acquired increased analytical and numerical skills in this course. I now understand financial forecasting and am deeply rooted in research and economic modelling. I have also been taught how to apply this in the real world. My writing and presentation skills have also sharpened to the expected standard.
"My lecturers are simply fantastic. They are not just professionals in their teaching approach, they have real life experience and their wealth of knowledge has been advantageous to my learning process. They seem to know everything and are always willing to encourage you. They have also exposed me to the real world and how to be competitive in the labour market.
"My investment in further studies here is really one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Now, I look forward to a career in financial prognosis which would serve as a convergence point for my computing background and my Masters in Economics and Finance. I now have strong confidence in what I can do and offer establishments. I am also equipped enough now to give some interesting business plans a good shot. How can I forget the international network of friends I can now boast of? It has been a superb decision for me to study at Nottingham Business School." |

"I have enjoyed having the close contact with the lecturers, learning a new discipline without having to go through another three years at university. I have enjoyed the way in which the course was taught with a very hands-on approach.
"I have learned many different management skills which include being able to manage finance, managing human resources, strategic approaches to managing business and analysing businesses, risk management and operating a business in an international environment as well as working well in groups and with people of different cultural backgrounds.
"All of the tutors I have come in contact with have been very willing to do the extra bit to make sure that I or other students really understand the topic.
"Being at Nottingham Business School has definitely influenced my future career path, I have been given a key that will help me open many doors that I probably wouldn't have been able to reach without my education. I hope to use both my psychology and management degrees to make an impact in my future life." |
