Courses
This will entirely depend on what you intend to study. UON offers a large number of courses in a variety of subject areas. If you’re looking to study a subject where the prestige of your university can affect your employability (like law for example), then UON takes the cake. However, Nottingham Trent offers some more specialised courses. They’re known for journalism and business studies, plus they offer some form of work experience across all courses. So, which one is better depends on what you want to study.Which has a better student life?

Both UON and Trent have a wide range of societies. Whether you’re looking for a new hobby, keep up a current one or simply to meet new people, there are countless options. UON has over 300 student groups, with activities that range from coffee society to filmmaking to matchmaking society and sailing society. Trent, meanwhile, has over 100 societies that range from anime society to beer society to help in the community to Taylor Swift society.

Using the latest QS Graduate Employability Rankings (2022), Uni Of comes out on top over Trent. UON comes in at 66th worldwide (10th in the UK) while Trent doesn’t make the top 250. While this is just one ranking, it suggests that businesses and future employers view UON students as more employable than Trent students. So, to answer the question, University of Nottingham vs Nottingham Trent – which is better? Well, that depends on you as an individual. There are some respects where UON is better (employability, sports) while there are some where Trent is better (academics, student life).
