Stephen Williams, Director, NTU Global, Nottingham Trent University, said, “We are incredibly proud of our Indian students as they celebrate this important milestone. Their talent, determination and commitment have enriched our university community and exemplified the global outlook that defines Nottingham Trent University. Graduation marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter, and we have every confidence that our graduates will go on to make outstanding contributions to their professions, communities and society. We congratulate them on their achievements and look forward to following their future successes as valued members of the NTU alumni community.”
Among this year’s graduates is Ramita Eswarappa, who completed her Bachelor of Architecture (Hons) at NTU. Reflecting on her experience, she said, “I’m delighted to be graduating, and that my family is here with me as well. My time at NTU has truly been a journey of discovering my capabilities. I’ve been able to hone both my academic skills and soft skills through networking and teamwork. I think each student should be allowed to shine, and I am glad I have been given the opportunity to do so. Everyone has been supportive and understanding that each student is unique, which made it easier to explore my identity and navigate through my time here. Of course, this experience would not have been complete without the peers and friends I made along the way. I’m hoping to continue my studies in the UK after some experience gained working as an architectural student.”
As the Class of 2025/26 embarks on the next stage of its journey, NTU continues to equip students with the academic knowledge, practical experience and global outlook to pursue opportunities across industries and professions worldwide.
