At the University of Derby, our focus is on industry-relevant, expert teaching to help you prepare for a successful career.

We offer a range of postgraduate courses across a wide variety of subjects; many are accredited by industry bodies. You’ll work with an academic team that has years of industry experience and a passion for applied research. And you’ll be part of a diverse community of students, including many from countries around the world.

Our reputation
High-quality teaching is at the heart of what we do – and we are ranked in the Top 15 for Postgraduate Learning Experience in the Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey 2021.

“Our lecturers have been so patient, from the beginning they made you feel that you were going to be all right. They’re happy to share their wealth of knowledge and experience. It’s so important for us to hear about industry experience and to understand where we might sit in the industry”.

Our research
Our researchers are involved in projects as diverse as health and wellbeing, criminology, education, the arts and creative industries and much more. Their focus is on making discoveries that will create positive economic, medical, social, cultural and educational change.  Alongside partners in the UK and overseas, our researchers are also part of the global effort to fight the COVID-19 virus.

Our wide-ranging research includes studies that are helping to conserve coral reefs in the face of climate change; developing safe, immersive sound systems for indoor and outdoor use; supporting greater inclusion for young people with special educational needs and disability; and developing strategies to support a greener economy.

Facilities
We have invested £200 million over the past ten years to create modern facilities with the latest equipment to support your studies. These include our STEM Centre with the latest computing and engineering laboratories; hi-tech health care facilities; and a dedicated building for our Law, Criminology and Social Sciences courses.
