What makes us different
We are a problem centric, solution focused University with a strong philosophy around shaping tomorrow, today.
Our students, graduates and staff are making an impact in our region and around the world by using their expertise and experience to drive innovation and make positive changes. You can be part of that story.
We are continuously investing in our facilities and will soon be adding a £5.8 million Biomedical Science Super Lab. A brand-new state-of-the-art Business School is also set to open near the city centre as a modern, zero carbon hub for students and start-up companies to learn, network and prosper.
The University of Derby ranked in the Top 10 for satisfaction with feedback in the Guardian University Guide 2024, and Top 20 for overall assessment and feedback in the National Student Survey 2023.
We have a strong awareness of our environmental impact and we aim to bring sustainability into all aspects of our teaching, research, operational and international activities.
