The library is the best facility. The small lifts for numerous students to reach high floors is the worst experience.
the campus has great facilities art wise but lacks the supplies to use them sometimes which can be frustrating. The campus location is a little far out from the city centre with minimal bus routes going to and from would love to see more.
Best experience is about making bigger network of friends and staff. i havent got any worst experience.
Great student life and places to go out
Feels very homely, lots of opportunities and clubs for students to get involved in.
Its great
The best one the course accessibility and how easy it is which makes student performance much better. The worse on is the university rules on bus payments because some students are not working therefore we struggle financially. And this is adding pressure on us.
Worst aspect as an university student is being away from home, and best aspect is getting to know new people, experiencing new things and places, and having more opportunities to grow.
The front line staff really care but there's not enough man hours to get the job done so they were still writing the modules after they started.
Very good lecturers and facilities, easy to navigate and loads of support available.
Derby is a great place to study if you are looking for niche and industry specific courses taught by industry experts/specialists. However, some facilities are not available to students which I personally wish I could have access to, given a proper induction on how to safely and respectfully use the equipment.
Teachers are very helpful
Very helpful lecturers with a very good student community. Easy to make freinds and join society’s to be included
Cavendish Building is a great building with excellent facilities
The teachers a d students are very nice. Everything is easy to understand location to assignments. The student union is also very supportive, when a lot of fun and exciting events for students outside of academia. One thing that can be changed is the bus to be free of charge as it was before.
Good atmosphere, good facilities
The level of support and comfortability with my lecturers so far has been great, very positive atmosphere with learning. My halls accommodation experience has been nothing short of amazing. I have not heard great things about the experience of international students with the university though, maybe some attention should be given to that.
Perfect size uni, amazing society offers, I’m in netball and hiking which have been incredible. The accommodation is beautiful, so clean, friendly and spacious. There’s always something going on. This first semester has honestly been the best 3 months of my life However like most unis we have staff shortages and unfortunately this has impacted our simulated placement. Whilst this doesn’t bother me it’s not got the biggest night club life as it isn’t the biggest city but it has everything you need!
