Nursing, Third Year

(5)·By Georgina M·Nursing· Oct 2018
My university experience so far has been a challenging yet eye-opening experience that has tested my confidence and skills to the limits. However, this has been very rewarding has lead me to becoming more confident, aware, and has set out a path in which I'm determined to follow to then qualify as a nurse, to make a difference to those who need it most. University so far have been so supportive and have thrown a lot of exciting chapters into my life, I've met friends that will stay with me a lifetime and memories to treasure for the rest of my life. I'm excited for what's to come.

Nursing, Year 1

(5)·By Catherine H·Nursing· Oct 2018
So I have been at the university of derby for just over 1 year, however last year I did the access course there and this year I am in my Year 1 of mental health nursing. I expected all modules to be really really hard however they are a breeze, are my lecturers are lovely and I have met some amazing peers. I can't wait to see what my time at the Univeristy of Derby brings me. I love being a student nurse and I am overwhelmed that in 3 years I will be registered thanks to the university of derby mental health team!

The course is interesting, lectures take things at an understandable pace. Tutorials are well-structured and small, which helps to allow one-on-one time with the lecturer.

Sports / Sports Science, Year 3

(5)·By Myles M·Sports· Jul 2021
Insane! Uni really looked after us and there were multiple discount brackets available. Derby uni is a uni that really looks after it's student and makes sure that they have everything available to allow them to succeed. Even through COVID lockdowns they have made them self very available from lectures to support and well being. Library isn't open 24/7 which is annoying, but is very well adapted for students. The sport's facilities are top rate. The student uni changes every year consistently improving. And class rooms are all pretty knew and kept well. Lectures are brilliant! always available to help with assignments and give feedback. They also have an open fee back session at the end of each semester to know how to improve the following semester. Night life is great, not far from many of the accommodations. The uni puts on events for the students and has staff that make sure people get home safe after.

It was good

(5)·By Shah F·Art· Jun 2024
I searched many universities in the UK before taking admission in Master of Arts in Education. I saw the University of Derby is one of the best universities in the UK. Now I am here at the University of Derby and I realize that my decision is right. I chose the right university and I will try to fulfill my own responsibilities soon.

Great Uni

(5)·By Brandon H·Electrical Engineering· Jun 2023
As a current second-year student at the University of Derby's Sound, Light, and Live Event Technology program, I can confidently say that this course is a great choice for anyone interested in the technical side of the entertainment industry. The program covers a wide range of topics, from lighting and sound design to event management and multimedia production. The hands-on nature of the course has allowed me to develop my skills in real-world settings, and the industry connections and networking opportunities provided by the university have already opened doors for me in my career. The faculty are knowledgeable and supportive, and the facilities are top-notch, making for a truly immersive and engaging learning experience.

A fresh start

(5)·By Kristan H·Forensic Science· Jun 2024
I have been to a university prior to Derby, which was De Montfort University. My experience at this university was lonely and very disheartening. Even though my grades were amazing, my social experience lacked and was little to none. I had no friends, which made me question universities as I was so unhappy. I made the decision to move to the University of Derby and have found it much better. My social experience is amazing as I found a really good group of friends and have made some valuable connections and memories so far. I enjoy my course and its different components. For example, I’ve learned how to use a Canon camera to create crime scene footage. It’s just been a great start and I could not have asked for a better outcome.

Best Place to be

(5)·By Samuel A·Engineering· Jun 2024
As an international student, University of Derby is the university to be. It has state-of-the-art equipment and is located in the center with a very effective transport system to access other cities very cheaply. The place is warm and has a low crime rate.
