The location and the environment make it very interesting as well the staffs in there is really great. They put all their effort into it. They could still provide us with free unibus facility as it is bit difficult for international students to manage their living so it could be very helpful for them
18-24 years
Fantastic teaching - the lecturers are amazing and put so much work and time into planning, delivery, and support. The course is interesting and structured well, with many accessible resources and signposting to further information and support. It is a light, positive, comfortable atmosphere. It could be improved with better support for staff
Make the uni bus free, as it’s expensive to get as a uni students who already pay so much to be at university.
The lectures are committed and very engaging to learn from. Areas to improve would the the variety of food in markeaton street cafeteria.
This place offers an excellent learning environment because it combines supportive staff, strong academic resources, and a positive atmosphere. The tutors are approachable and committed to helping students succeed, which creates a sense of encouragement and confidence. The facilities—such as the library, study spaces, and access to technology—make it easy for students to stay focused and productive. Additionally, the diversity within the student community creates an inclusive environment where different perspectives are valued. This helps students feel comfortable, motivated, and connected, all of which contribute to a positive study experience.
It's very homely and welcoming. University is nearby town centre and there's plenty of options for accommodation (and all are pretty nice and affordable)
Going to 9 am, learning something you have a passion in, easy resources
Great support and events going on all the time
It is such a great place to study as it has lots of facilities, amazing staff support and resources
Good university. No bad aspects except the pricing of the canteen is crazy.
I think everything is good, but they should improve the food over there
Everything listed above
More financial support
Better bus for travel to university
Big lecture halls, a huge library with multiple sections for revision and studying.
very good UNI with great facilities


The tutors make it for me, they are so passionate and supportive. Improvements suggested would be a fridge onsite, they have microwaves but no fridge and I have a swallow issue so I have to have a shake that goes warm by lunchtime. I went to the student union about my issue and they couldn’t do anything which I found disappointing and will be a real issue for me in the summer.
I have no complaints I’m really enjoying it so far.
