Great Uni
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.

Nursing, Year 1
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!

Biological Sciences, Year 2
They have been fantastic from helping me transfer universities to supporting me with the work load from the modules and with my workload from work.
All tutors have a great educational background with lots of experience and knowledge. The campuses have all that is needed, great facilities and plenty to do. All staff are nice and helpful also! There are always social events on and plenty of opportunities to party. There are also many employment events and constant emails about internships etc etc which is very helpful when it comes to dissertation period.

Film, Year 1
After working for 5 years, I decided it was time to attend university. A big change in my life moving on from work and a monthly paycheck but Derby Univeristy was a massive breath of fresh air! I attuned rather quickly to the life of a student and every professor no matter how busy will answer your question if you have that passion for your subject.
In my eyes, the guide every student in the right direction and will honestly give you solid advice, now sometimes it's not nice to hear when they say As a critic, your film lacks in these areas but I believe it's what separates derby from other Univeristy because of the honesty and because they do it eye to eye so you get the most from it.

Nursing, Third Year
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.
