Over twenty years later, we have grown into a diverse community of over 10,000 students and staff from 70 different countries and regions, representing a wide range of backgrounds and cultures. Our academic staff are world authorities in their fields – around one in ten are globally highly cited scholars. We offer academic programmes across three faculties – Nottingham University Business School China, Faculty of Science and Engineering, and Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Students have the opportunity to study at one of our 160 partner universities around the world.
In 2013, the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) review of transnational education concluded that UNNC is an impressive achievement and that students receive as fully a British education as it is possible to provide in China. In 2024, UNNC was recognised as a 5-star institution by QS Stars Rating and received 5 stars in all evaluation categories across learning experience, employability, sustainability, research & innovation, and global engagement.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Sustainability<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

At UNNC, sustainability is not just a priority \u2014 it is a fundamental responsibility embedded in who we are. It informs how we operate, innovate and collaborate with our community. We are committed to leading by example and advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through sustainable governance, operations, education, research and partnerships.
