  • Student Protection Plan
    Nottingham Trent University Student Protection Plan UKPRN: 10004797 Legal Address: 50 Shakespeare Street, Nottingham, NG1 4FQ, UK Contact Point for Enquires about this Plan: Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic Development and Performance) Student Protection Plan for 2020/21 academic year: Nottingham Trent University 1. Scope and identification of Risks Introduction: In accordance with the requirements of the Higher Education and Research Act 2017, this plan inform students of what they can expect should a course, campus or institution close. This Student Protection Plan (hereafter “the Plan”) aims to demonstrate that Nottingham Trent University (NTU) has considered how students can continue or complete their studies or be compensated if this is not possible. The University recognises that in the event of a significant course or campus closure it will be expected to work closely with the Office for Students and its own student body to ensure that students’ interests are protected through any such change. Nottingham Trent University is a large, established, high performing and financially stable provider. We would like to reassure both our students and applicants that the risks outlined in this Plan are all very low and in the case of closure extremely low. Examples of risks to which this Plan would apply: • Loss or restriction of University status or its degree awarding powers or its designation for student support or student intake; • Decision to close the institution, a campus or a specialist facility; • Long term disruption to your course

The comparison of Census data from 2001 and 2011about the ethnic diversity of the Christian population, which is set out in this report, is one element of the work the Council for Christian Unity is doing with a variety of partners in this area. We are very pleased to be working with the Research and Statistics Department and the Committee for Minority Ethnic Anglican Affairs at Church House, and with Churches Together in England on a number of fronts. We hope that the set of eight reports, for each of the eight regions of England, will be a helpful resource for Church Leaders, Dioceses, Districts and Synods, Intermediate Ecumenical Bodies and local churches.

  • Newsletter: Special Issue Connected Everything Conference 2018 Manufacturing a Brave New World Newcastle University, 26Th and 27Th June 2018
    Newsletter: Special Issue Connected Everything Conference 2018 Manufacturing a Brave New World Newcastle University, 26th and 27th June 2018 Connected Everything's second annual conference was hosted by Newcastle University's School of Computing in its newest and smartest building - the Urban Sciences Building (USB). The 2018 conference brought together people from 41 institutions, including representatives from industry, Research Technology Organisations such as the HVM Catapult and TWI, and people from as far afield as the USA, Singapore, Australia and China. In total, 92 delegates spent two days enjoying presentations and stimulating discussions about the current challenges in digital manufacturing. 30 posters were on display in the atrium. The venue, USB, is part of Newcastle Helix, a unique urban development focused on research and innovation in tech businesses. The site has been built to serve as laboratories and act as an urban repository, with sensors around the city feeding data into the building. It could hardly have been a more fitting venue for the conference. This Special Issue of the Connected Everything Newsletter provides links to presenters' slides, which are given below in a sequence consistent with the conference proceedings. Available slides can also be viewed on the Connected Everything website, along with the conference programme, abstract booklet and the posters displayed at the event. We look forward to convening once again at Connected Everything's next annual conference, which will take place at the Jubilee Conference

  • Income, Skills and Deprivation in Leicester and Nottingham
    Institute for Applied Economics and Social Value East Midlands Economic Data Repository Short Report 21-02 Income, Skills and Deprivation in Leicester and Nottingham Data for this report is available at If citing this work please use: Cartwright, E., T. Luong and Al. Orazgani (2021) ‘Income, skills and deprivation in Leicester and Nottingham’. IAESV EMEDR Data Brief 21-02. Introduction In this data brief we provide some background on economic deprivation in Leicester and Nottingham. The data in this report largely pre-dates the coronavirus pandemic and so identifies long-term economic challenges in the respective cities. The coronavirus pandemic will no doubt exasperate these challenges. In the brief we look at: • Measures of deprivation, • Employment and wages, • Skills and type of employment. Key findings • Leicester and Nottingham are two of the most deprived areas in England with high levels of income deprivation and skills deprivation. • In comparison to other cities, Leicester and Nottingham residents earn relatively low salaries and work in relatively low-skilled occupations. • In comparison to other cities, Leicester residents have relatively low levels of qualification. Nottingham is closer to the national average. Definitions We focus on Leicester and Nottingham as defined by the unitary authority boundary. We also focus on people who are resident in the two cities, rather than people who work there. Source of data. We are using data from a range of sources but primarily the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) and the Annual Population Survey (APS), accessed on Nomis. The Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings is based on a snapshot of the workforce in April of each year.

  • Nottingham University
    Case Study Nottingham High-quality infrastructure is an essential component of a modern and successful university. This is not University only achieved by providing an attractive environment in which to work and study. It is also important to maintain leading-edge technology. AEOS fits perfectly in this picture. AEOS can operate different buildings from one central point. The University of Nottingham is renowned for its research innovations. Its system to control access and to secure the facilities no longer reflected its commitment to excellence in the advancement of technology. Over the years, the University acquired several systems for access control, each with their own card technology. Additionally, it had various platforms for its daily operations. Not only was maintaining all these different systems and technologies time-consuming, expensive and complex. It also limited a possible system expansion. Most of all, there was no clear overview of who was authorized to enter the premises and who was not. Time for change! Security Management Facts at a glance 5 Faculties 4 main sites in the UK 2 campuses in Malaysia and China 40,000 students and employees Time for change Rule Engine The University decided that it needed to do The University also concluded to have the extra two things: switch to one single access control AEOS open architecture AEOS functionality Rule Engine.
