The University of Nottingham was first started off as a Civic College, which was the first of its kind in Nottingham and later it moved to, now, its main campus, University Park. King George V inaugurated the college in 1928. The college eventually became the Nottingham University through the Royal Charter in the year 1948. Even in its earlier days, it attracted many famous personalities like Mahatma Gandhi, Einstein, and HG Wells as guest lecturers. It has continued to develop and grow since then and has many campuses, even in other countries like Malaysia and China. The university has always focused on innovation. It founded the UK’s first 20th-century Medical School in 1970 and the School of Nursing in 1955, which was founded after merging with the Mid-Trent College of Nursing and Midwifery.
