 " I also attended this university for my undergraduate degree in Criminology. The university is always clean, has great facilities, and there are people around to help you if you need it. There are also university buses that make getting around easier, however, there is limited parking for students. "

 " It is a very good university with super kind and helpful staff that are generally super understanding and friendly.
My specific course wasn’t what I expected, I would have opted to do normal psychology had I known, however it has still been a pleasant experience "

 " Online psych masters. Really good, but lacking in real world content. Lots of theory which is perhaps not practical for career moves. Tutors were really helpful and the content was interesting. Assignments were well explained and there was lots of content to access and opportunities for asking questions. The use of online forums to connect with peers is good too. "

 " As a student at the University of Derby, I've had an awesome time! The university is super friendly and supportive, which has helped me grow both personally and academically. The teachers are top-notch - they really know their stuff and are always happy to help.

There are loads of different courses to choose from at Derby, so you're bound to find something that suits you. And the facilities are great too - the libraries are really modern and have loads of books and online resources, while the computer labs have all the latest gear and software. And there are plenty of places to hang out with friends and study too.

Outside of class, the uni is buzzing with loads of cool clubs and societies. The Students' Union is always putting on fun stuff like gigs, comedy nights, and sports events, so there's never a dull moment!

Overall, I've loved my time at Derby and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to learn and have a great time at the same time. "
