Overview

University of Derby

At the University of Derby we offer education with the personal touch – all of our courses provide you with a personal tutor for one-on-one learning and support any time you need them.

Many of our courses are focussed around real-world learning, which means you could be learning in a working environment, or have opportunities to work in industry as part of your course. This will further your chances to gain employment in the job position you want once you graduate.

We build our courses to suit you; this is why you can choose to study full time, part time, or online. Our courses can also be started in January as well as September, or even April (for online courses).
