In the 3 years of studies ta University of Derby have been nothing but positive. It has a great photography course with excellent darkroom facilities. The sport societies are amazing and it has high level of sports. Social life is 10/10 as every week there is a social event. Joining a society has definitely helped me get through the university days as it was always a space I was able to go and relax and have fun. On certain days there is small business market in the main campus and its always amazing to see the different stalls. University of Derby campus' also offer a range of different food options from SUBWAY, to different cafes.

It has great darkroom facilities and a lot of support offered. it has a lot of freedom to go in the photography direction that suits you best.

It was a very comfortable accommodation with great laundry facilities and common room

The facilities offered to photography students are industry standard, including colour darkrooms which most universities have got rid of. Derby is a small city, nearby the Peak District. It is easy to escape the city life at any time, but whilst you stay, there are plenty of places to shop, eat, and drink, and Derby promises a good night out. The student support on a course level is evident, with regular catch up meetings, however support from higher up in the uni does seem less evident. They do however have their careers service.

The facilities are professional standard, so we can really hone in on our skills and apply what we have learned to the real world of work. The darkrooms are arguably some of the best I saw on my uni hunt. There seems just the right balance of home and classroom work, however some teaching time can feel a little waisted.

The location is just outside the city centre, perfect for being able to walk to and from anywhere in the center, and easy to walk to campus in the other direction. There is a Lidl 5 mins away which is perfect for a student budget. The room allocation gives a great view of Derby, including the shopping center and the cathedral. Wifi is good and security seem switched on. Slightly on the pricier side, but still good compared to other universities.
