The University of Nottingham is a public research university in Nottingham, United Kingdom, ranked #71 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. As a research-intensive institution it operates Repository@Nottingham (powered by Worktribe) which exposes a publicly accessible OAI-PMH metadata-harvesting interface for its research outputs, alongside legacy EPrints repositories (Nottingham ePrints, eTheses). Most institutional systems (student records, timetabling, library discovery, identity) are gated behind SSO and are not publicly documented developer APIs. The university maintains several official GitHub organizations publishing open-source code.
