Update on University Park incident

Friday, 28 February 2025
It is with great sadness that we confirm the death of Sophie Goode, a University of Nottingham first-year student, on University Park campus in the early hours of Tuesday morning in a road traffic incident.

Sophie was studying BSc Sport and Exercise Science and was a highly valued member of the University of Nottingham Ladies Cricket Club. Sophie was a bright and confident student, who was growing into university life and will be greatly missed.

This is a deeply upsetting time, and all of our thoughts are with Sophie’s friends, family, and loved ones. We will continue to provide support to our community as we process the weight of this loss.

Support is available through our support and wellbeing services if you feel you may need it.
