News by Supplier: University of Nottingham

We are an international community of students and staff dedicated to bringing out the best in all of our members. Our aim is to provide the finest possible environment for teaching, learning and research and we have an impressive track record of success across all areas.

We continue to outperform most UK universities in independent measures of our research and teaching, and 2003 was a particularly remarkable year for us. The Nobel Prize for Medicine was awarded to one of our leading academics, Sir Peter Mansfield, in recognition of his work in Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and there was an additional Nobel Prize for Economic Science to a Nottingham graduate and former member of staff, Professor Clive Granger.

We are very proud of our achievements - but in no way complacent. We are constantly upgrading and improving our services and facilities and investing in Nottingham 's future. For example, in 2003 we announced new investment of up to £50m in research and the appointment of up to 20 new professorial appointments.

We also opened an innovative graduate Medical School at Derby and finalised plans for the next stage of development for our award-winning Jubilee Campus, in addition to progressing plans for a new campus in Malaysia (to open in 2005) and cementing stronger links with our partners in China. All of this reinforces Nottingham 's commitment to providing the best possible environment for our staff and students in 2004 and beyond.
