Your future starts here

A University of Derby Open Day is your first step towards an exciting future as a student with us.

Our central location in the country means we are easy to get to, whether you’re coming by road or rail. You can park for free at our main site or we’ll pick you up from the train station in our free shuttle bus.

Once you arrive, you’ll find all the information you need about your course, with teaching staff and students on hand to talk you through what you will study and how you will learn. We know how important it is to have the best teaching, so we’re proud to be rated Gold in the Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework (TEF) and top 20 for teaching quality in the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2020.
