This university is outstanding...and the reason it is outstanding is because of the lecturers, INCLUDING senior lecturers who make it interesting, deep with experience and information. This university would be NOTHING without the team of lecturers that it has at the moment. It's because of the quality of the nursing lecturers that Ive always wanted to join derby. If the dynamic of the lecturers is changed then so will the dynamic of the entire university and it won't be for the better. #saveourstaff #saveourseniorlecturers #saveournursingteam read more

The university was way better before the budget cuts of the last couple years, if I was applying unis now I wouldn't pick Derby again. Unibus is no longer free, many courses have been reduced and had modules changed because of staff redundancies, etc. The university also no longer offers proper support plans for new disabled students and doesn't allow any students to have extra time in exams or assignments. Honestly my overall rating of the uni would be lower but my complaints don't really fit into any of these categories. read more

I couldn’t recommended the University of Derby high enough. Really enjoying the vibe of the uni and how I feel part of a group within my society. The university has incredible facilities and is one of the main reason I picked this uni. Couldn’t have asked for a better start to University life. read more

I really like the university, the WiFi could be improved as it's not the most reliable, but I like the campus a lot. We've recently had gorgeous new buildings and the on site gym is impressive at the main campus. The specialist facilities are really exciting and constantly being upgraded and improved. The Union runs the clubs and societies and they're really good. There's a lot of choice. I haven't spoken much with the careers service but I've heard good things. read more

The university is broke. Wouldn’t recommend coming here. Sports facilities are lacking. No track/athletics, on site swimming pool, poor quality tennis courts, hard to book slots for the sports hall, broken basketball hoops and more. Have to pay for UniBus this year - it used to be free. 265 staff redundancies. 1st year engineering practicals are useless: had a 1 hour tutorial on using standard rulers and vernier callipers. Latest the grounds are open is midnight. Not many initiatives to gain extra experience for CV besides a few challenges - minimal STEM societies to choose from. A pro is that classes are small so always will get a seat. read more

Overall it is a good university, the lecturers are supportive when you need help with anything, they have their expectations but those work only in your favor at the end of your degree. There is plenty of career related events, and the career team is great if it comes to updating your CV and recommendations. read more
