Lecturers are approachable and friendly. Many Societies and events to get involved in. Campus facilities are excellent. Trips and quizzes happen often
Good uni easy to access support from lecturers are good
Amazing facilities maybe could me made a bit more homely and more inviting around some places however really nice staff and very helpful mentally and physically. Lots of support offered
very very spacious and teachers are very helpful
This is my second time as a student and Derby University now has a home away from home feel for me. I'm comfortable when I'm there and the facilities are easy to access with plenty of choice.
Lecturers are very genuine and always try their best to support us no matter the situation or what mistakes we make. Would be nice to have some more seating available to watch sports fixtures whether that’s outside or in the sports centre
Every thing is in in one area, the walk through the nearby park is very nice
All the lectures are very skilled and amazing technologies and facilities are offered
The University of Derby is a fantastic place to study. The campus is always clean and well maintained.
Good uni, decent staff
I think the university as a whole has been really good especially for any students studying education. It creates an amazing atmosphere and in my eyes transforms derby into an amazing university city. The campus is a bit out of the but they do provide free buses which is great.
The university is great, an amazing building with knowledgeable lecturers who are always there to help and advise whenever needed, and the on site facilities are very good, with multiple choices for places to go for food and drinks aswell as a shop and a library
I hate how long the wait is for the busses and how long the lines are
It’s a great location. Great lectures and fellow students. Organisation isn’t the best and we are sometimes told things last minute.
All good experiences nothing bad I can say
The library is a great place to study as its quiet with lots of places to sit However the uni store should have more variety with food/supplies
The law school which I study at is extremely helpful with all our courses and provide great support !


Library is good and fabulous book collection, but I think if there was even more space for students to sit and read than it was gonna be amazing . But until now I don’t think there is anything that is worst.
Everything is amazing .
