The facilities and consideration for students are amazing
Close to the house, but not enough car parking places.
student support is good
Best is the community and help given to students. Worse is some of the timings on lectures
Not have the better more experienced teachers at risk of redundancy
The facilities are fantastic and have provided some great opportunities to meet people which helped me settle into Uni really well. The lecturers are very nice, knowledgeable, and approachable which makes the learning environment very positive
Facilities for my course are great, being able to book in and use all the equipment makes a real difference.
More support for students seeds. Like dyslexia and mental health issues.
Nothing it’s all good
Great location . Helpful facilities and friendly staff
Best aspect: the new Derby international business school the new classrooms and improved facilities in there making it more accessible and having better features inside the classrooms such s wireless charging or big screen monitors that you can easily present your ideas in the game changer lab.
Can't obviously speak for every course, but my lecturers are all nothing but brilliant. Every single one of them are super helpful. Only reason I didn't give five stars for location is simply because the Uni is a little out the way from city center. There are buses that take you there of course, but still worth noting
A very welcoming environment. New environments usually panic me but the transition from sixthform to university was extremely smooth. Kedleston campus is very easy to navigate around and overall i am very happy to be studying at the university of derby
Derby university has an amazing nursing lecture team that take time to help. They care about their students. Stedent services are also amazing at what they do I have a disabled daughter and the team have been trying to help me find a care team for her so I can attend placement.
Positive and safe environment as well staff are very helpful. Bringing more staff as needed
Best as meeting new people and worst as I lose my old friends


I love everything about my uni experience
My course material is straight forward and easy to understand. Lectures could be open to a bit more discussion
