The next time you're on campus, take a look at a new outdoor exhibition which marks 100 years of Highfields Park.

Six boards around the lake reveal cutting-edge environmental science combined with historical research to explore how the park and its iconic lake have changed over the past century.

We recently welcomed back over 100 alumni to a Mining Society reunion, organised by Emeritus Professor Nick Miles OBE (Mining Engineering, 1983).

We asked Nick and friends to pull together a few words about the event, as well as asking them to share a few photos from their time as students, which you can see here!

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...
