We are deeply proud of our academic community. Nottingham Trent University (NTU) is a diverse and dynamic learning environment, defined by a shared sense of respect for all its people. Our mission is to be bold, to do the right things and to change lives.
We secured a ‘Gold’ rating in the government’s Teaching Excellence Framework; received the Queen’s Anniversary Prize for our pioneering research; and in 2018, we were the first UK university to sign the Social Mobility Pledge, further demonstrating our commitment to ensuring ‘success for all’. NTU is a university at the peak of its powers, but we know we can still go even further. That’s why we’re now looking for new, passionate, ambitious people to join our community.
As a part of NTU Psychology, you will be joining a very large, lively, diverse, collegiate and ambitious group with an excellent reputation for its theoretically informed impactful and applied research and its teaching provision at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.

We are the largest provider of full-time undergraduate degrees in psychology in the UK. Our pre-covid NSS scores for overall satisfaction was above 90% for eight years and in 2022 was well ahead of the sector average at 84%. We lead in the University on issues of diversity and inclusion and have achieved Athena SWAN recognition at the department level.
