Keep up the good work
Best: the opportunities they offer. Worst: Some lecturing styles don’t work.
Best: Extra curricular opportunities and activities centred on my specific subject area. Sports and societies on offer. Lecturers are friendly and approachable.

First gen student
As a mature student the University of Derby exceeded my expectations. A range of societies were available and I got involved with the hiking society. This made me feel included as UoD is such an inclusive organisation. Also, the academic support such as library courses were so important for my upgrading of skills. I have enjoyed my time as an undergraduate. I will be taking my MSc in the state of the art new Cavendish building located in central Derby to further my employability with tonnes of support.
I like the fact it is a small town and campus is easy to get to. Theres enough to do with societies and stuff but the town has not got much for us to do in free time
Student morale is low due to university issues but there is a lot of support for students
Good
