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
The university is big and has top notch facilities
The Joseph wright centre is a good school environment but with the cost of very bad WiFi
Excellent university, they provide a huge range of courses which most universities around the country do not offer. The staff genuinely care about the student’s learning and will help you with everything they possibly can. First year is incredibly important as they encourage you to try a lot of new things and you are able to see for yourself the huge lengths that staff go to to help accompany your learning. The library resources, lecturers, staff, online resources, student well-being, student Union and Campus facilities are great. Would highly recommend to any people considering Derby.
A lot of things were shut off due to COVID. As everything was online, the only times I actually went into the main keddleston campus was to go to subway. I know the university experience was limited due to COVID, but I saw other universities still seeming to have a lot of fun and opening social spaces as quickly as they could, this wasn’t really the case for derby uni and so socialising was terribly difficult.
The BEST university. Cannot fault it here, the staff are very helpful and the education I have received here is unmatched. Facilities are incredible and the course I do - mechanical engineering - is very stimulating. Cannot stress how much I recommend this place.
The Univerisity of Derby has been a great space for both personal, academic and social growth. They provide a lovely sense of community and the lecturers I have can be very welcoming and supportive.
Decent amount of support during covid and understanding lecturers. Very helpful student support.
Amazing place. Amazing staffs. Spacious and lots of activities and job opportunities available to students and staffs
One of the greatest Computer Science departments I have seen. They do really care about all of the courses that they allow you to study.
A great place to study if you are looking for a small city! Campus is very modern.
University of Derby is a good University with a range of opportunities and courses to choose from. With societies, clubs and social events it makes it easier to get to know people while having fun
Great first year can’t wait to carry on
nice and friendly, it large and it help you study hard
It depends on which campus your course is at really, but the main site is amazing.
it’s a nice uni especially for my course
Been a lovely experience and walking around campus is enjoyable as there are lots of things to attract students!
Really really really really really good
Amazing facilities, good student place
I am currently on my 3rd year of studies as a Business Management student and I have to say that my 3 years in the University of Derby was an amazing experience. That’s why I chose to do my masters degree in derby next year
I'm grateful for the opportunity to study at the University of Derby. It's like a dream comes true. The campus provides the best possibilities to exceed our learning opportunities. The staff are very welcoming and always willing to help you out. The university cares about you and your well-being and tries to do the best to provide you with the most amazing experiences during your studies.
Honestly had everything you want in a university and more, the nicest campus and sports facilities and in a great location.
Very nice main campus with a huge library
Very very good University, as an international student they are one of the best! Very helpful and good at making you feel at home :)
Only been to the university a couple times this year
The university provides a great experience to learn and develop skills
The WiFi is not the best but the services are great.
Uni is good and campus is always busy with many things to do .
Awesome uni, happy to help, brilliant courses
The University of Derby is an incredible place. As an international student, I'm grateful to the Uni for being so accepting and the staff for helping me out with anything I'd need. The people I've met here are also amazing, and I'm sure lots of them will be friends for life.
Nice sized university and campus. Lots of societies, clubs and events to join. Free uni bus service. Nice fashion and textiles facilities.
Exgelllent ttttttttttttttttttttt
Overall it’s an okay university. There are lectures who are amazing and really want the students to do well and are so helpful
Great university! Lecturers are very knowledgeable and highly involved in the industry that they are teaching. Facilities are great which allows delivering very high-quality practical teaching on-site.
Stylish and modern campus, great free transport for students.
Great university with lots of support and activities to take part in. Unfortunately I have been unable to take advantage of these personally due to COVID-19
Highly professional tutors. Very conducive learning environment with great campus facilities especially student break out spaces
Love the ras especially callum
Overall a good university to go to
Very unorganised Uni especially the Engineering department. Half of the lectures teach outdated/useless stuff and have no idea what subject they are actually meant to teach. And most importantly these lectures have very little industry experience. The uni also feels more like a school than an actual higher education teaching facility. The staff that are required to structure and deal with complaints from students are fake and don’t actually change anything based on student feedback. In addition all the official statistics and feedback from the courses are not real as for my course many students were not satisfied with the quality of lectures and the course overall, but for some reason the statistics for the course show otherwise. There is absolutely no real help from Careers Service. They showed a couple of websites that everyone looking for opportunities already uses without their help. But at least the WiFi is good.
