Everything is amazing. The staff is super friendly even though I’ve been here for few months they recognise me and smile. Tutors are great! Very understanding and super helpful. They are always going the extra mile for all of us.
It is a very friendly environment where the staff are very supportive and there is always someone who is more than happy to help
The teachers really help the students and the university support the students a lot. I don’t remember of a bad experience at uni
It has great lecturers and plenty of people always willing to help
Equipment for my course specifically is very good with the use of hudl technology not used in many other places
Studying at university has been an incredible experience for me. The environment is vibrant and filled with opportunities for personal and academic growth. The professors are knowledgeable and passionate about their subjects, always encouraging students to think critically and explore new ideas. The diverse community allows for networking and making friends from different backgrounds, which enriches the learning experience. I appreciate the variety of resources available, from libraries to study groups, which help in mastering challenging topics. Overall, university life has not only expanded my knowledge but has also helped me develop important life skills like time management and effective communication. I highly recommend it to anyone considering further education!.

Everyone is so supportive


Very supportive university with helpful lectures that help you every step of the course. Kedleston road campus is massive with loads of facilities, such as cafes, study spaces, library, sports hall and gym.
All lectures on campus give good contact with lectures who help all of the time. Balanced timetable that allows for part-time work and enough personal study time.
Amazing hall management very helpful and friendly. Nice room with good pricing, management fix ably problems you have and do kitchen checks to make sure appliance are safe and work properly. Bills all included with rent so don’t have to worry about using too much gas or electric so can stay warm all over winter and have warm showers.
