University of Derby

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, a smart factory, and a hemi-anechoic chamber
• State-of-the-art £10.8 million sports centre
• 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 first choice.
