Graduated here this year in July. Sad to leave as the staff on my course were so supportive. Studied educational studies and they helped me through my struggles and disability to achieve the grade I wanted and deserved. Recommend!!

I'm currently studying for my master's at the University of Derby and I couldn't be happier with my experience here! The campus is set in beautiful surroundings and has a great variety of food options, including Starbucks, Subway, and other coffee shop and eateries. But what really makes the university stand out is its diverse teaching staff - my lecturers come from all over the world, which provides a unique and global perspective on my studies. I've learned so much from hearing about their experiences and cultural backgrounds. Overall, I highly recommend the University of Derby!

Absolutely loved my time here as an exchange student! Many thanks to the amazing teachers, students and other staff at Derby. Whether it's in halls, the classroom, the multi-faith centre or the gym, i've always felt at home. Very grateful for the memories!

My daughter went to the University and had a wonderful experience there while undertaking her degree in film. I met some of the teachers during an event and those I met were very nice. The site is well laid out. My daughter said she thoroughly enjoyed the years at the Uni and would highly recommend others to go there.

Ok, completely honest review time.  I'm currently a 40 year old student completing a BSc honnors degree in forensic science with psychology, I also completed a foundation year before starting my degree.  The university as a whole is in the Guardian's top 30 UK universities and the top 100 universities in Europe with many courses having near 100% student satisfaction ratings.  As a whole the Kedleston road main campus is actually pretty good, not as large as you'd imagine, but quite nice.  There's a union shop selling snacks, drinks, and University of Derby branded clothing, a bookshop, a union cafe called Blendsdecent, pretty cheap coffee to go, a union coffee shop also Blends that serves food, coffee to drink in, soft drinks, and a  limited selection of alcoholic drinks in bottles, a university of derby cafeteria street food and traditional, Subway sandwichs, Papa John's pizza and a Starbucks.  The library is exceptional with enormous financial support. Books, Journals, articles, magazines and PCs, laptops and tablets for hire free intersite books are available if the book is at a different campus they'll get it for you.  There's also wellbeing support, financial services and careers advice/employment services.  The tutors are generally all pretty good with some being exceptional; however, some things are poor to the point of being a hindrance.  The whole UDO app and Blackboard app is unreliable especially Turnitin the main way you submit work, there's a lack of information regarding turnitin and how it works regardless of operating system, Windows, Apple, Google you need Google Chrome to enable submissions, ironically dispite needing Google Chrome, Chromebooks are pretty much unsupported.  Some assignments can take months to get back, this means you're doing multiple without any feedback as to how to improve; however, most are back within 3 weeks. Nevertheless there's a general air of disorganization that really needs addressing.  Generally it's a good university but with definite room for improvement. Although I very much doubt you'll be disappointed if you do attend, in fact I'm sure you'll love it, dispite it's faults it's a great place to be.  You cannot park at the university if you're a student unless you meet certain criteria and have a pass, unfortunately the buses have also been reduced and some classes don't finish until 8pm.

I graduated from here after four years. I adore the support offered which I don’t get at my masters uni now and the bursary was so helpful! I miss this uni. The one thing I will say tho is having no parking on site without a permit forces individuals to walk through markeaton park when dark and on late lectures is really not safe. Please fix this!

I really like the Uni. Very modern and awesome quality of facilities. I've done Business Management and Marketing stage 1 so far. But the support I was/I'm getting from staff is not as excellent as they claim it is.

I went to their open day, it was a fantastic experience. All of the staff and students were friendly, professional, courteous, helpful, and welcoming.  The first person we met was Mo, head of security and parking. He greeted everyone with a smile and helped them to find where they needed to go.  Students in pink tops were everywhere, providing support and assistance to everyone.  The professor, doctors, and tutors were all professional and more than happy to provide advice and guidance.  The people manning the stands were all knowledgeable and supportive.  An excellent all-around day. Thanks to everyone.  This is definitely the place where I want to do my studies.

Great campus, social space accommodation,  with very friendly staff and students. Plenty of shuttle busses around the city.

I was at the Uni to make enquiry as phone calls were not helpful. Kate at reception was very kind in her response. I already felt reassured by the way she attended to me and also offered to help.  Thank you so much Kate!
