University Boulevard is a tram stop on the Nottingham Express Transit (NET) network in the city of Nottingham. It is situated on reserved track alongside University Boulevard (A6005) close to the boulevard's junction with Queen's Road East and Lower Road, and comprises a pair of side platforms flanking the tracks. The stop is on line 1 of the NET, from Hucknall via the city centre to Beeston and Chilwell. Trams run at frequencies that vary between 4 and 8 trams per hour, depending on the day and time of day.[1][2]

From the Chilwell direction, trams approach this stop along street track within Lower Road, crossing Queen's Road East immediately before the stop, which lies parallel to the south side of the boulevard. Heading towards the city centre and Hucknell, the trams run along reserved track on the south side of University Boulevard. This reserved track incorporates a cross-over and a loop siding.[2]

The University of Nottingham stop opened on 25 August 2015, along with the rest of NET's phase two.[3]
