The University of Nottingham is located in Nottingham, East Midlands, UK. Over 34,000 students are enrolled, learning in such fields as engineering, health & medical sciences, science and social science.
Although the college can be traced farther back, its official establishment was in 1881. It was opened as a school affiliated with the University of London. They had only four professors at the time of their opening, but more were added as the fields of study grew. The school was set back, as was the country, during World War II, but they made further advances after that time.
