In 2006, Nottingham became the first foreign university to be invited to establish an independent campus in Ningbo, China, a historic city close to Shanghai. Five years later it opened another, a new purpose-built park campus near Kuala Lumpur. In 2000 the university opened a campus in Malaysia. In 1970 it founded the UK’s first 20th century Medical School, and in 1995 the School of Nursing – a result of the university merging with the Mid-Trent College of Nursing and Midwifery.

It wasn’t until 1948 that the college was awarded the Royal Charter, allowing it to officially become the University of Nottingham and award degrees in its own name. The city’s first civil college opened in 1881 and its foundation stone was laid by the then Prime Minister, WE Gladstone.īy 1928 it had outgrown its original building and moved to what is today the university’s main campus.
