Children / Youth Social Work degrees in All England

Derby Uni is actually a really good place to study. The courses are super practical, so you’re not just sitting in lectures all day—you get real hands-on experience, which makes a big difference when it comes to jobs. A lot of courses have placements and work experience built in, so you’re not just thrown into the deep end after graduating. The facilities are pretty impressive too. Depending on what you’re studying, there are things like a forensic house, proper healthcare training rooms, and high-tech engineering labs. The campus is modern and easy to get around, which is always a bonus. One of the best things, though, is the support. The lecturers actually care and are really helpful, plus there’s loads of career advice and mental health support if you ever need it. Derby itself is a decent city for students—cheaper than a lot of places, but still with enough going on. And if you fancy a break, the Peak District is right there for a bit of adventure. Overall, it’s a solid choice if you want a uni that helps you get ready for the real world.

The student report is great and really accessible for all different types of issues and problems you may need. Some of the buildings look quite dull, I would like if the lecture rooms had more windows.

WIFI is absolutely awful and there are many dead zones around campus. How can a top-level engineering university provide such poor internet connection, especially when all of our assignments are internet based and due online? I am constantly searching for places around campus with any useable connection and the VPN speeds when you're off campus are just unusable. It's the year 2024. How have we not figured this out yet? It's absolutely unaccusable. You have the money to build an entire new campus, but can't fix the internet at your main campus? Awful.
