Good experience with the university so far
Campus facilities are great! There needs to be more clubs/societies.
Good uni but improvements can be made
University of Derby is really nice, everything is easy to find and the student ambassadors are so friendly and helpful.
Meh it's not the worst I've seen but could be improved
good range of courses and good facilities
University of Derby, is a good uni the staff are helpful l
I have had an enjoyable experience at University so far. During the Welcome Fest, some students were allocated as 'heroes', making themselves available to people who needed any form of support or had any queries. There was an abundance of these welcome heroes and they were very helpful, offering a warm greeting, answering queries, and showing you around. All campuses are modern, well-kept, lots of facilities, and all staff members that I have communicated with so far, including librarians, clerks, and securities have been extremely warm and helpful. I particularly appreciate the SafeZone App which allows you to reach out to emergency assistance which will activate an alarm that security officers will see and offer immediate assistance. The University provides multiple events and activities, and there is a vast range of scoieties one can join, including lots of sports and physical activity, art, gaming and discussion and support groups.
It is all the same to the halls the only issue is the WiFi the campus and the activities provided are really good
Always lots of activities and events on.
Amazing DnD scene, awsome staff 👌
Good uni, main campus is well kept and smaller campus is lovely and quiet
Great experience, I am more than happy with my choice
University of derby is big and has loads of places to buy food from the library staff are also lovely and has a book shop there which I love
Helpful and friendly staff, good range of modules
The main University Campus includes many facilities including student coffee shops, Starbucks, and a Subway however, it can be very busy and difficult to find help if lost. There isn't designated staff located around the building who can help so this can be difficult at the start. But the Campus is massive including the library which has up to 4 floors and hundreds of books. It has shops and vending machines dotted around the site which means its the perfect place to study and get involved
I enjoyed my time at the university of Derby but I do not feel that they have put everything they can into the uni. I do not remember having the student union be prevalent during my time. It seems that most of funding for societies only goes into sport.
Getting to and from the university has been a breeze and made easy now that I’ve moved to derby.
uni of derby is a student-centred uni, I can get help whenever I need and there are a lot of events for international students to attend
Has been a good experience so far and everyone’s very friendly plus the sports facilities are top tier
All the campuses are great my only grievance is that the library isn't 24hrs, as someone who is a bit of a night-owl a space that's open overnight is really a necessity and with the exception of a few weeks before Christmas and in April the UoD library isn't and its a pain having to travel to Nottingham just to utilise a proper study space in the late/early hours.
Very good university for all students.
I love the uni, there’s a good support system when it comes to needing additional support and a variety of opportunities to choose from
This university is really great, I don’t regret it picking as my first choice
The university is so great, I have no regret picking this university.
The teachers are lovely and they are easy to understand
The university is great place to study
My experience at this university has been extremely wonderful
Its not the biggest campus but it has everything you need.
Good campus, wi-fi, facilities. However, mental health support is not so great. And don't you ever dare report a bullying issue! You, the victim, get the blame or you get even more ostracised. Apart from one tutor, everyone else has ignored my complaint. They made me feel like I was a liar who put the complaint in because of jeaolusy (when, irl, I don't give a d*** what someone looks like on the outside. But if they keep bullying me, I get fed up at the end, no matter who they are. I am not jealous of anyone, I don't give a d*** about the physical appearance crap). This University claims to tackle bullying, but then they make you (the victim) feel like a criminal if you try to stand up for yourself!
Not much to say buts it's okay
I have enjoyed studying at the University of Derby.
It’s okay but there isn’t a lot of support
My experience in Derby has been great!
Good experience so far. Enjoying my crim degree
University of Derby is a lovely and provides many resources such as the library and borrowing laptops. There is always something going on so there is a lot to be involved in.
Good very good I would recommend
the best uni for accounting and finance
great university, lovely people
Wonderful accommodation and great management team.
Would recommend for new students.
Good sports facilities but could be more entertaining campus
It is a good school with lots to offer. Plenty of support from staff and a good place to learn.
Kinda small and average looking main campus but has all the necessities and easy access
Any problems I've had at uni, the university has quickly sorted out for me.
I love it to be honest . But we need more food stores .
I can't say much about the main part of derby uni due to me being a apprentice
More help and assistance should be provided to international students as they are new to the place.
Good, very friendly staff and great facilities. I would highly recommend
Really positive I’ve had a lot of support and have had lots to do in my spare time
Teaching quality can be poor but overall decent
Good university better than others I looked at
Great facilities and nice place to be
I am studying and already I prefer this place to the OU.
A good uni offering wide range of courses and modern campus
I alike the environment in Derby university and the lecture hall the teacher everybody is awesome and lovely guidance from our teachers
Grate place to study, the facilities are really good. Teaching staff acre about students and help them improve there academics
Everything you could want and need in a university from social to sports to support they are great!!!!! University not too far from the city centre with a free bus journey makes all the difference
University of derby my Go to university. I love Uniderby with passion!
It’s a nice quiet uni. I can concentrate
The school has numerous means and platform for students to access in their research, reports and presentation works. Nice reception by teaching and non teaching staff. Students are trained for field work and not just the book knowledge with the necessary practical on field during students academic stay.
Academics wise the university is perfect. Lacking in extra curriculars and actually assisting in keeping it sociable place
Best time here - so accessible with buses & all round been such a good experience! the uni clubs and societies have made me experience so good and the staff are so helpful
This university is very good.Good access and opportunities. As well as friendly staff and brilliant library team that are supportive and provide amazing resources and many workshops to enhance your skills and ability. This course is good for radiography as the assessments and content ensure we meet the HCPC standards and ensure we are skilled to be competent health care professionals. The placement is very good as we are rotated around many hospitals which include main hospitals, community hospitals, emergency hospitals and private hospitals. This is particularly good to gain experience in different settings and build on adaptation skills. During placements there are competencies and assessments to complete which allows to ensure we are confident and competent health care professionals with interpersonal skills. This university provides great opportunities to practice before placement such as VR and xray rooms to practice. The tutors are all brilliant and supportive.
A very good university with great quality of teaching
Fantastic University, quality teaching, one-on-one and outstanding career guide from tutors.
I love university of derby, good facilities and good staff
University of Derby, good place to study
a nice university with good access to good facilities with lecturers always willing to help!
Great it’s very nice area so yeah comeeee
Great university to Study occupational therapy. All resources are up-to-date and the lecturers are very helpful
Good resources for studying, clubs are also very engaging and enjoyable
I had a really good 3rd year with the University of Derby. I changed University in my last year to Deeby and the tutors were so supportive and friendly. The disability team is not the best very basic support plan but the tutors made up for it. Careers is also not the best, I've had no real support because I don't live in Derby. They need to support other students outside of Derby better. I did BA (Hons) Education Studies and really enjoyed learning all of the material and some amazing tutors.
An amazing university with beautiful facilities and amazing staff
I really enjoy it here, great choice
I have had a great experience at the University of Derby. The staff are very knowledgeable and try to help where they can, the students are incredibly friendly, and it definitely helps reduce the initial fear one could be feeling when starting a new chapter in life.
Brilliant student union, can't wrong the facilities, as a mature student with 3 degrees, hoping to start my second year at a different uni, don't like this one...can't really go into it, but trust the ratings, closest one to this one is probably nottingham ...better staff assistance!
I have just finished with a first degree honours but i am so dissapointed with the whole uni experience. Proffesors that didnt actually care(95% of them) about us and they would deliver poorly. During covid the university was a mess and they could not handle ANYTHING, would not reply for weeks and weeks to our emails or phone calls. THEY DID NOT KNEW HOW T HELP US WITH OUR INQUIRIES! the unversity is a mess and the quality is poor. The only reason i went there its because its considered to be a good university in the outside world that doesnt know how big of a mess it is....
I did not live in halls but my experience was great. I found it easy to connect with people, and although the Societies were somewhat badly managed from the top down, the Law Society itself, of which I was President has worked really hard to develop an exciting range of activities
Uni was great, a lot of places to go and chill out after lectures. Library was great and clean.
Very good experience, teachers are welcoming but not overbearing
Good university and some supportive staff
This is a good university and I've had no issues with its teaching or services so far.
I have enjoyed my experience at uni

Derby uni is a great university with lots of opportunities for everyone
Amazing courses and facilities.
Very good uni. Lecturers are very nice and helpful
Annoying that you have to make a new account every time at uni when logging onto the wifi.
Great uni, amazing sports facilities, lack of good lecturers in the policing degree
definitely recommend derby university
Hard to connect to wifi while on campus. I also didn’t get told anything about societies and clubs, as a student who lives and comes from in derby and lived at home for my first year, I wonder if this was why.
My journalism course is organised. In terms of the general university the facilities are modern.
Great university campus recommend to other students
Decent university but lack of help or support overall
The university is in a great location.
Moving to university was scary at first, but the staff and teachers at the university instantly took away my nerves and made me less nervous, I now love going to university and don’t feel nervous at all.
it’s has been a positive experience so far
Great campus but can be busy at peak times.
Decent but dont get too excited
Can only speak on the services I’ve used, not had any complaints except the organisation in general. A lot of “left in the dark” students
