Because of the available resources, such as the well-equipped classrooms, laboratories, library, and some other quiet places, the university has been a great place to study. well I am yet to experience any worst aspect and I pray not to experience it.

Academics are so supportive and the international team are brilliant. I found Derby a little boring as I am from Auckland and its a bit quiet for me

I like that Derby is a good base to travel to other parts of the UK. The campus is really modern. Library is great to find books, get your head down or meet with study groups.

BSc Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation

University rating (5)

Me best expereince was being able to access university library 24/7 at certain times when most needed. I think it would have been better if shops at university were cheaper for students.

Intelligence, Security and Disaster Management MSc

University rating (4)

The University is great in many respects and has been amazing for me throughout my undergrad and masters, all my lecturers have been supportive and great, whilst also facilitating my growth. I think one issue a lot of us students are seeing is how the University is focusing more on its appearance and money than students themselves, for example the fact the University has announced a huge new construction projects but there are buildings already at the University that look worn down and old, a bit like a facade. Additionally course programmes are not always specific about what they do precisely want from references as referencing systems themselves have different rules in them (e.g. Harvard allows for both listing out all the authors names or just the main author followed by et al in the reference list)

Forensic Science with Criminology BSc (Hons)

University rating (5)

The best aspect is feeling like there is support available in various area such as IT services and wellbeing. Moreover, the library services are also quite good. The worst aspects were mainly Covid related issues.
