Health and Social Care with Foundation Year - BSc (Hons)

University of Derby

The university atmosphere and staff library, reception and the tutor are the excellent resources available to students, fostering an environment where academic growth and personal development can thrive. With dedicated mentors and innovative programs, learners are supported every step of the way. Although, making friends is quite difficult for me, it could be because my asian appearance, the students tends to just make all black groups and also white in the different groups. This separation can be challenging, but I am determined to find my place and connect with others who share similar interests and values. Engaging in campus activities and reaching out to diverse organizations may help bridge these gaps and foster meaningful relationships. I do not expect to be friends outside university , but I hope to create a supportive network within this environment. By actively participating and being open to new experiences, I believe I can cultivate friendships that enrich my university life.

The library is such a great place to relax and study. And the staff there are so nice, always ready to help. Course quality and delivery is also pretty great. We get a lot of workshops from professionals working in the field so our leaning has a practical feel to it even when we’re studying theoretical stuff

It could be improved by having more events and more advertising for student experience. More ways for commuting students to get involved

The best aspects of my uni experience so far has been the great campus which includes everything you could possibly need, especially if you are in lectures all day, this includes the large library. The worst aspect was my uni placement which was a bit far however it was definitely valuable and I had a great experience there.

Uni of Derby is a really friendly and supportive place to study. Lecturers are approachable, classes feel more personal, and there’s lots of help if you need it. The courses are practical and focused on real careers, and Derby itself is affordable and easy to get around. It just feels like a place where you’re supported and not just another number.
