This is my second year staying at Nunnery Court and I love it just as much as I did last year! It’s incredible accommodation for your money. The staff are always so lovely to speak to and always there if I have any queries. It really is “a home away from home”. Would definitely recommend nunnery court to anyone coming to study at the University of Derby

You can give the Student Living team a ring on 01332 594111 to find out but bear in mind there is still a lot of shuffling around of places after A level results day so so maybe wait a week after for a more definite picture. You can also contact your flatmates by joining the facebook group called Coming to Derby Uni 2023 and doing a shout out to people in your allocated flat. It's a really nice way to break the ice and make contact before you arrive!Just for information,and to be claer though students who apply at the normal time (i.e not during clearing) can request to live in a single gender or mixed gender flat

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation
What tenancy length do I need?
Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.
Should I stay in catered student accommodation?
This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.
What is a guarantor and do I need one?
A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.
Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?
Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.
What bills will my rent include?
If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.
What is purpose-built student accommodation?
Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.
Will my student accommodation be furnished?
Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.
Read Nunnery Court Reviews
Loved staying at Nunnery, basically flawless
Amazing! Thank you for the great review about Nunnery Court. For those who don't know, Nunnery Court has mainly Premium standard rooms with small double beds and modern decor. It's conveniently near to a small Sainsbury's, has a fantastic common room and lots of events to get involved with.
Nunnery Court has been great, the rooms are spacious and comfortable and the staff and cleaning service make the extra money (compared to private property) well spent. It's well decorated and looks nice, unlike some accommodations which look like jail cells :(
We're so glad you've had a good time at Nunnery Court and you think it's good value for money. We'd encourage anyone thinking of coming to Derby to take a look at its lovely premium standard rooms which are reasonably priced and make that maintenance loan go a bit further without having to compromise on quality. You can see the rooms on the halls pages of the website or in person at an Open Day.
Great value for money. The place runs very smoothly, all issues are dealt with. Very social and pleasant!
Thank you for your positive feedback about Nunnery Court. For those who don't know, Nunnery Court is conveniently close to lectures at Markeaton Street, Britannia Mill and One Friar Gate Square. It also has a supermarket over the road and a cracking programme of free events!
This halls of residence is amazing. The cleaners always work very hard and Jo puts on some great events in the common room.
Wow - another top score for Nunnery Court. We're so glad you're happy there and enjoying the free events organised by the manager. Also thanks for the shout out for the cleaners - They will really appreciate the feedback!
Great flatmates, nice people around the hall
Thanks for your feedback about Nunnery Court. For those who don't know Nunnery Court is also close to lectures at One Friar Gate Square, Britannia Mill and Markeaton Street and has a supermarket across the road. It's also really convenient for getting into the city centre.
Clean safe, dead centre between main campus and city centre as well as other student accommodation. Halls staff are always on it, would reccomend.
Thank you for this positive feedback about Nunnery Court. It IS in a brilliantly convenient location and close to a supermarket too! Good to know the staff are on it :)
I was a bit hesitant when booking this accomodation because of the shared bathrooms, but my experience wasn’t as bad as i thought. We had a cleaner every week so the kitchen, toilet, shower room and corridors were rarely dirty/messy . The only thing i didnt like was that the university was a little far when walking. Althought there is a free uni bus, this bus was nearly always full so sometimes the driver would just drive past or you would be forced to stand with so many other people who were standing. Theres a shop less than a minute away from the accom so that was great
Thank you for your feedback about Nunnery Court. We're glad you found sharing toilet and shower facilities was a lot better than you imagined because they are regularly cleaned. To those who don't know, Nunnery Court is only a short walk from most of the teaching sites so sometimes waiting for the bus can be counter-productive and it's quicker to walk, certainly for the sites that are close by. It's just a 7 minute walk from One Friar Gate Square, Britannia Mill and the new Cavendish building, a 10 minute walk from Markeaton Street and 21 minutes from the Kedleston Road site.
Spacious rooms with lots of storage, smaller kitchen considering 5 residents , well maintained by staff and cleaners, maintenance worked quickly. Never had issues with wifi
We're delighted you're enjoying your time at Nunnery Court. For those that don't know Nunnery Court also has a fantastic common room and an exciting programme of events for residents.
This is my second year staying at Nunnery Court and I love it just as much as I did last year! It’s incredible accommodation for your money. The staff are always so lovely to speak to and always there if I have any queries. It really is “a home away from home”. Would definitely recommend nunnery court to anyone coming to study at the University of Derby
Thanks for that top score for Nunnery Court. We're delighted you've settled in so well to your Uni home! For those who don't know Nunnery Court also has a Sainsbury's close by (It's literally across the road!) and it's really near to Britannia Mill and Marketon Street.
It's a really good place if you're looking for a good balance with uni and social experience. the social areas are a great place to also make friends. weekly cleaners are also a great thing to have on site as we don't have to worry much about untidy flatmates.
Wow - thanks for the top score for Nunnery Court. The halls is also conveniently close to a Sansbury's supermarket and a short walk to the city centre.
Love Nunnery Court. Only issue is that the common room is always booked out and we often cannot use the space. Maybe a limit could be imposed as to the amount of times the common room can be booked out a week.
Thanks for the great review of Nunnery Court. We're sorry to hear you're having trouble using the common room. It might be worth talking to Jo your Hall Manager about this. She might be recptive to your suggestion
I love being there for the past 2 years
Wow thanks for that top score for Nunnery Court. The fact that you've lived there for two years in a row shows how much you like it. The rooms there are modern and excellent value for money and it's close to a supermarket, the city centre and the University.
fun friendly environment, supportive accommodation team lovely place to live
Thanks for that top score for Nunnery Court . We’re delighted you find the hall environment friendly, supportive and fun!
halls management is really nice and they respond quickly to any queries
Thanks for that great score for Nunnery Court . We’re glad you find the staff responsive and helpful
A bit too expensive for a shared accomodation experience. But the living experience is good enough.
Thanks for your 4 out of 5 score and your feedback on the pricing at Nunnery Court .We're sorry you think it's a bit on the expensive side but we think £133.14 a week is a fair price for a good-sized, modern room and although you do share bathroom facilities, you have a wash basin in your room, you benefit from a weekly cleaning service of all the communal areas and a free events programme. For cheaper 'shared' accommodation we do have rooms at Princess Alice Court at £115 a week and en suites start at £148 a week at Darley Bank. We appreciate not everyone has a big budget to play with and with this in mind we are freezing prices for existing students who return to halls next year. Find out more here. Nevertheless, we are glad you are enjoying the living experience at Nunnery Court. Thanks again for the feedback.
Nunnery court is the best accomedation in Derby best money I have spent.
Thanks you for top marks for Nunnery Court. We’re glad you think it’s such good quality accommodation and good value for money. It’s also conveniently near to a small Sainsbury’s and just a short walk to Britannia Mill, Markeaton Street and One Friar Gate Square.
Jo is honestly the best halls manager in Derby!!
Wow that really is a recommendation! For those of you who don't know, Jo is the Hall Manager at Nunnery Court and really is passionate about making students feel at home in halls. She also loves organising local events at her hall.
Amazing staff that are all happy to help anytime
Ooh you'll have the Nunnery Court staff blushing!!! It's lovely to hear that staff are helpful and friendly- It's all part of the service.
Nunnery Court is a very accessible and has a homley environment. Jo the halls manager is really helpful and ensures everything is completed in a timely manner.
Thanks for that very high score for Nunnery Court and a shout out to Jo the Hall Manager. It's lovely to hear that you're so at home at your hall and that you feel supported
Nunnery Court is such a nice place to live, everyone is so friendly and approachable. Jo and Mark are both incredible. I love living at Nunnery Court and will be coming back next year.
We're delighted you like living at Nunnery Court and you found the staff so friendly and helpful that you are coming back for another year! About 25-30% of our halls population are second and third year students so there is quite a community of returners. They seem to like the convenience of halls with no extra bills to pay and the financial incentives we offer. As you're returning next year you'll benefit from price freeze and £130 Amazon voucher.
I came to Nunnery after having a difficult year in uni at Cardiff. The staff were supportive and very welcoming to me, with the Halls manager and RAs saying that they were available to talk whenever they were in the office, being able to offer advice or help with getting support from the uni. The community at nunnery means that everyone is happy to have a conversation with whoever in the courtyard.
We're so glad you are having a positive experience at Nunnery Court and that the staff are so supportive. We would urge all our residents at every hall to speak to staff about any issyes they are having or just opo into the office to say hello. We're here to help and make your University journay a positive one so
I felt very welcomed at Nunnery Court. Staff were really helpful and I never felt like I was burdening them with any issues. Will always recommend to new students.
What can we say? We're so glad that you found Nunnery Court staff helpful, friendly and supportive and we'd like to remind residents (current or future) that their Hall Manager should always be their fisrt port of call with any issues they might have. We are here to support you and make your halls environment a home from home :)
This accommodation is so warm and community-driven, with endless opportunities to make friends. The location of Nunnery is paradoxical: secluded but bumbling which I like, there are shops, takeaways and buses - plenty of opportunities to enrich yourself.
Wow, another 5 out of 5 for Nunnery Court. The staff will be really deligted. Jo and her team really do go the extra mile to make people feel welcome and it's great to know you appreciate it.
As a first year nunnery court was brilliant and was a great way to experience living by myself, as there is a brilliant courtyard and common room where we could meet other students. Staff are brilliant cleaning staff were great and a big shout out to Jo who kept everything running and also ran some awesome hall events especially the open mic nights. Additionally as a gamer the WIFI was more than adequate, on current gen Xbox series X I was pulling speeds of 500mbps and over.
So glad you had a great experience at Nunnery Court! You forgot to mention that there is a Sainsbury's literally over the road, which is really handy and also it's near the Unibus stops and really close to Britannia Mill and Markeaton Street. We'll pass the lovely feedback on to staff.
Overall the place is nice some staff aren’t the best and get angry for no reason but yeah
We're really sorry to hear that someone lost their temper with you. Please report any incidents like that either to your Hall Manager or the customer service team on 01332 594111 so we can deal with it there and then.
Love the ras especially Callum
Glad to hear you like our RAs (Residential Assistants). RAs are students who work for the halls team and are on hand to help with any queries/issues you may have. Every hall also has a Hall Manager who should be your first port of call with any problems plus there is also a caretaker and a team of cleaners .
The RA's are great, really helpful and can have a laugh with them, same with Sara. The courtyard is great for socialising
We're glad you get on with the Residential Assistants (RAs). They are students who work in halls and know exactly what it's like to be a student. Whichever Hall Manager, caretaker, and cleaning team you get we think you'll find them all friendly and helpful. It's one of the main things we get positive feedback on and it's reassuring to know you'll be living in a friendly hall. The courtyyard at Nunnery Court is great for socialising, especially when the weather is nice :). We also have courtyards at Peak Court, Princess Alice Court, Peak Court and Darley Bank so there's lots of opportunities to hangout in a nice outdoor space.
Room and shower are good spaces, kitchen only has one fridge so share between all of us in the same flat and would better to add an additional fridge freezer as other halls of residence have
We're glad that you like the rooms and showers at Peak Court. The rooms and kitchens have actually just been refurbished and are looking really nice. The good news is that all our kitchens there now have two fridge freezers so we have been listening to your valuable feedback.
Nunnery Court is cute, in the perfect location and perfect for it money however a living room would be ideal
We are chuffed that you like Nunnery Court. Sorry there are no living rooms but there is a common room with pool table and PS4. If you're after a bigger communal space in a flat, the kitchens at Darley Bank are really big and have soft seating too!
Made life long friends who are like a family
It's so nice to hear you had a positive experience in our halls. We try to encourage a friendly, vibrant community in all our halls and our awesome events programme also helps residents to meet new people
Good location if you’re based at Brit Mill or Markeaton. Great if you have the right flat mates
Nunnery Court is also only a few minutes walk away from One Friar Gate Square for law, criminology and policing courses ans across the road from a small branch of Sainsbury's
It served more than adequately in being a student halls, never had an issue
We're chuffed you liked living in Nunnery Court and never had an issue. We think the fact that every hall has a 24 hour mobile number, night time security staff, CCTV and a mostly-free social programme may have something to do with it.
Lived here two years. I love it
Hey, we're glad to hear you loved living at Nunnery Court. You must have liked it to live there two year's on the trot. We'd love to know more about what you enjoyed :)
Overall very tight knit, everyone knew everyones buisness, the courtyard was dominated by smokers, the halls were loud and flat mates can be difficult to live with because there is no space to breathe, hall manager and staff there were fab i must say.
We’re glad to hear you thought the Hall Manager and staff at Nunnery Court were ‘fab’ but sorry that you had some issues with noise and flatmates. It’s really important that you report any noise complaints to staff as soon as the noise occurs, whatever the time, day or night, so they can deal with the offenders. We have a tried and tested procedure for dealing with consistent offenders. Similarly with issues with your flatmates we’re here to help. Sometimes a simple flat meeting can sort things out but if the issue is harder to remedy, we can look at room swaps or other alternatives. Basically whatever the issue is, please talk to our staff about it. After all, they can’t help you with an issue if they don’t know about it!
It’s so modern and worth the money however in some places the internet could be better but it’s alrigjt considering it’s free and can have lots of devises
Wow thanks for the great review. We think the rooms at Nunnery Court are really nice and contemporary too and definitely a good priced option. In regard to the WiFi, you'll be glad to hear that we've upgraded our internet and we've gone with a new supplier called Glide Gigabit who provide really fast internet for up to 25 devices (WE know!!! Who has 25 devices?).
The most amazing place to live!!
Thanks - that's a real endorsement of our halls, particularly Nunnery Court. We're glad you enjoyed living with us. Not everyone knows that students in their second and third years can live in our halls. In fact we offer financial incentives to returning students. These 'returner' live in 'returners blocks' of their own, so they are not put in flats with Freshers. One advantage for returners is that they can apply early , so are very likely to get the room type they want and also people can apply as a group to live in a flat together. About 25-30% of our halls population are second and third year students. They seem to like the convenience of halls with no extra bills to pay and many people also cite the friendly staff as a reason for staying.
Loved it so much. Couldn’t have asked for a better student vibe
Hey - Wonderful to hear that there was a great student vibe. We do work hard to make it a friendly community for our students and hall staff are on hand to help with any issues or just for a chat. Our events programme also helps to make a friendly atmosphere. Some of the most popular events are ones with animals like the petting zoo and guide dogs. they go down a strom with students!
Rooms are in great quality. It was nice to be greated by a pretty room. Also, the staff is so lovely - ready to help with everything!
Great to hear everything was to your liking at Nunnery Court. We think they are lovely rooms too. The small double beds feel really luxurious and the fact thet they have underbed storage is a real bonus. Also the wash basins have useful storage for your toiletries underneath which is handy. Students love to personalise them and make them their own:)
Loud courtyard, nice staff and students living in
We're really sorry that you experienced a few issues with noise during your stay. We advise residents to report the issue to a member of staff when the noise is actually happening. That way staff can deal with the culprits. We do take noise complaints very seriously in halls and have a proper to deal with repeat offenders so it's always best to let us know about the problem. On the positive side we're glad you like the staff and students :)
So social and lovely staff. Amazing place to stay rooms are lovely. Good value and very cheap. Best accommodation in derby by far
Wow - Thanks for the top marks and great review. Our staff ARE a friendly bunch and really like to make students feel at home and we agree that the rooms at Nunnnery Court are lovely and well priced. Glad you had such a good time there.
Nunnery is by far the best halls I've stayed at. Great social area in the centre and friendly staff. Wifi's a stretch but what can you expect from student halls
Thanks for that great review for Nunnery Court . We’re glad you enjoyed your stay. You'll be glad to know that since you reviewed us , we have upgardaded our internet provision. Glide Gigabit now provide really fast internet for up to 25 devices (We know!!! Who has 25 devices?) and students are really happy with the service
Cleaners don't clean unless you've clean before they come but that happens everywhere. Rent is a bit excessive when you don't even get a shelf in the fridge to yourself. Rooms are on the small side & only one half of the flats have been refurbished. Our half will be refurbished after we leave yet we still pay the same and the people in the new, better, refurbished flats.
* Our cleaners clean all the kitchen surfaces but are not responsible for clearing pots and pans and doing the washing up. For that reason we ask students to clear the surfaces so the cleaners can clean. It’s also residents’ responsibility to take the rubbish out. We recommend you organise a rota for this. * If you want a kitchen with two fridge freezers you normally need six people sharing and at Nunnery Court all flats are five people sharing. * Since you wrote this review both halves of Nunnery Court have been refurbished and look lovely. Check them out on the website Thank you for your review. We really value student feedback and use it to improve the service we offer. Obviously this review was written a while ago but I hope this addresses some of the issues you raised.
For a first year student this probably wasn't the best accommodation , its in a good location but I found it to be really quiet and not as much going on as the other halls, as well as this the internet was pretty bad at times and the 'cleaning' was someone hoovering your hallway and wiping down the kitchen sides which we did anyway.
We're sorry you found this hall quiet. We recommend that new students take part in our Residence Life programme to make new friends, as it's a good way to meet people from other halls. In regard to the internet, since you wrote this review we've upgraded our internet provision and we're now with Glide Gigabit. Glide Gigabit provide really fast internet for up to 25 devices As for the cleaning, our cleaners clean all the kitchen surfaces but are not responsible for clearing pots and pans and doing the washing up.

Nunnery court is by far the best halls, I know other people from other halls and they are always complaining about something. At nunnery the RA's and hall manager are so lovely and are approachable and easy to talk to. Even the caretaker, security guards and cleaners are always up for a chat. If you're struggling to decide what halls to go for I would suggest nunnery court as it just feels so homely
Thanks for that great review for Nunnery Court . We’re glad you enjoyed living there. It is in a great location, close to lectures at Friar Gate Square, Britannia Mill and Markeaton Street and just a short free Unibus ride to Kedleston Road. .
Best university experience, so glad I moved into these halls. The staff are lovely and so helpful and always willing just to chat with you.
Wow 5 out of 5. Thanks for that great score for Nunnery Court . We’re glad you enjoyed your stay
Have lived at nunnery for three years of my degree. I love the social aspect of the site, with the fountain in the courtyard where I can go outside and just chat to people and make new friends. Staff are dead nice, especially the RA's they are always up for a chat which made me feel at home
Thanks for that great score for Nunnery Court . We’re glad you enjoyed your stay. The fountain has gone now but it's been replaced with tables where students can hang out in the sunshine :) Not everyone knows that students in their second and third years can live in our halls. In fact we offer financial incentives to returning students. These 'returners' live in 'returners blocks' of their own, so they are not put in flats with Freshers.

Great area, lovely staff and great hall residents. Only issue is the 15-20 minute walk .
Thanks for that great review for Nunnery Court . We’re glad you enjoyed your stay. Although Nunnery Court is a 15-20 minutre walk to Kedleston Road, it's literally 5 minutes walk from Britannia Mill and Markeaton Street and a short walk in the other direction to One Friar Gate Square. There is also a Sainsbury's across the road and a free Unibus stop nearby.
This halls was nice and central for everything, ten minutes into town and five minutes to brit mill. You can expect a bit of noise on student nights if you have a court facing room, mainly when people are leaving and coming back .

Had such a fantastic time in halls, met amazing people!
Thanks for that great review for Nunnery Court . It sounds like you had a great time. Nunnery Court is also really conveniently located close to Britannia Mill, Markeaton Street, and One Friar Gate Square and has a Sainsbury's literally across the road.
Nunnery Court is a quiet halls but in a brilliant location with uni a 15 walk away and town about the same distance, there is a park nearby with lots of open space to sit during the summer.
