Our 2026 graduation ceremonies get underway tomorrow, the time-honoured culmination of three (or more!) years of hard work at Nottingham, as you can see from this photo taken all the way back in 1968.

At this time of year we always love to hear from you - share below any words of wisdom you have for the Class of 2026, particularly anything which you wish you had known at the age of 21...

Thank you to all of you for being part of the university's collective contribution to retaining our World Top 100 status in what is an incredibly competitive global landscape.

We're named once again among the world’s top 100 universities 🎉

The latest QS World University Rankings 2027 recognise the strength of our research, education and global outlook in a highly competitive landscape.

It also highlights our continued focus on equipping students with the knowledge, skills and experiences to succeed in their careers and shape what’s next. That’s reflected in our sustained position as the UK’s top university for the number of UK graduates entering highly skilled employment (HESA Graduate Outcomes, 2026), and as one of top 3 UK universities most targeted by leading employers looking for talent.

This global top 100 recognition is shaped by the contribution of our staff, students, alumni and partners across our global community, whose work underpins everything we achieve.

What this result means for Nottingham ➡️ https://bit.ly/4oDc1LM
