About University of Derby

The University of Derby is a modern university with a modern outlook. Everything we do is driven by delivering excellence and opportunities for our students, our staff and our region.

The University of Derby is a modern, innovative education provider that achieved its University status in 1992. We have since become a university of first choice for students who want a caring aspirational environment where they can equip themselves for the career they choose.

Over the past 10 years, we have made a significant investment in world-class facilities, designed to give our students the very best learning environment. We have more investment planned and continue to develop teaching to be innovative, stimulating and engaging. Our investments include:

  • £12 million STEM Centre - including facilities for mechanical testing, robotics and an anechoic chamber
  • State-of-the-art £10.8 million sports center
  • Forensic Training Facility with a dedicated crime scene house
  • Industry-standard Bloomberg Financial Markets Lab

Financially strong, our future aspirations are built around the skills, energy, and enthusiasm of our academic and professional teams. They work closely together to find creative ways to position Derby as a university of the first choice.

Our focus on employability, state-of-the-art facilities, expert teaching and vibrant city are just some of the benefits of choosing to study at the University of Derby.

Wherever you come from, wherever you're heading, we've got the facilities, know-how and commitment to take you there.

We are continually investing in your campus to help you get the most from your studies. Industry-standard classroom facilities ensure you're learning the latest techniques and skills, while social, sports and study areas provide everything you'll need for your daily student life.
