Nottingham and Nottingham University
Nottingham, situated on the River Trent, is known as the “Queen of the Midlands” because of its broad streets and picturesque parks. Steeped in history, it is particularly famous as the home of Robin Hood, the legendary outlaw. The city has a great shopping centre, cinemas, contemporary art galleries, two theatres, restaurants and even an ice rink!
Our courses take place on the 65 acre Jubilee Campus of the University of Nottingham, 20 minutes’ bus ride for the city centre. Opened in 1999, this modern facility has. architect-designed buildings, a series of lakes, and environmentally friendly buildings.. All classrooms are equipped with modern teaching facilities and audio visual aids. The restaurant, at the heart of the campus, occupies a huge atrium which is bathed in natural light through its glass roof.
The peaceful setting and excellent facilities combine to create a relaxing and popular place to study English.
