" Great teaching staff, organisation and delivery of course, and there is a wide range of courses available. Campus sites are lovely and the main campus offers multiple places to eat and study e.g. subway, Starbucks and various cafes and canteen spaces. Library is well stocked and has various study spaces to best suit you. Parking could be better but free uni buses make up for this, with links all round the centre of derby. "

" Overall pretty good. Lecturers can be hit or miss, but the content is good. The university itself is nice, lots of options for places to eat, study, relax. Really good library. Could do with more student parking, but it’s typically okay "

" 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 "
