Our philosophy is simple. What we teach and the way we teach it has one purpose – to enable you to realise your potential.

Lectures and seminars will help you achieve this. We do them, and do them well.

But you deserve more.

That’s why we have invested millions of pounds in building the facilities in which you can study, while gaining the hands-on practical skills and experience today’s employers are looking for.

That’s also why we will encourage and support you to enhance your CV through placements, work experience, studying abroad and volunteering.

We do it in a thriving city and region with a wealth of opportunities, where you will benefit from our links with leading employers including global brands.

We’re big enough that you’ll enjoy a complete university experience, however you use your downtime. Yet we’re small enough that you’ll be treated like an individual by academics who know your

name, and where support is on-hand whenever you need it.

Our job is to nurture your talent. It’s a job we relish.

That’s our pledge to you.

That is Derby+

Go to university and you’ll get a certificate. Come to the University of Derby and you’ll get a whole lot more besides.

Thank you for your interest in the University of Derby. Choosing the right university is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make and we hope you like what you see here.

At the University of Derby, we really do put you first. We pride ourselves in treating you as an individual, rather than one of a cohort of students – whether you’re studying in Derby itself, or at our Buxton or Chesterfield Campus, you’ll find a warm and welcoming environment, with small class sizes, a personal tutor and inspirational lecturers helping you to make the most of your learning experience.

You’ll also benefit from industry standard facilities for a real world learning experience that is second to none. From our own law court to crime scene house and clinical skills suite, we make sure your learning is as realistic and relevant as we can make it. We’re also investing in facilities beyond the classroom – including a brand new multi-million pound sport centre, due to open in summer 2015.

Our location in the heart of the country, puts us in a great position to offer superb links with local industry and you’ll find plenty of opportunities to make the most of this through work placements with high quality companies. We can also provide support for our more enterprising graduates who are looking to set up their own business.

All of this adds up to one thing – you get a real plus at the University of Derby, and together we can achieve great things. We hope you’ll take the next step and come and visit us on one of our open days – we look forward to welcoming you.

You’re probably at the early stages of choosing a university and the course you’d like to study, but right now you don’t want to be bombarded with too much information. So we’ve put together a Careers Guide which covers the essential information you’ll need at this stage in your decision process.

One of the first questions we’re often asked is ‘Where in the country is the University of Derby?’, so we’ll start by giving you an idea of our location and a flavour for our campuses; see pages 8-23.

But most importantly, you’ll want to know if we have the right course for you. Providing you with a full prospectus containing details of everything we offer (there are over 100 undergraduate courses) is probably too much information right now. Instead, this guide provides you with an overview of the subjects we deliver and a full course listing, containing the essential information you’ll need to help you decide if you’d like to find out more. When you find a course, (or courses), that look right for you, the next step is to

order your personalised prospectus. You can do this online at www.derby.ac.uk/prospectus. Simply tell us which courses you’d like full information on and we’ll create you your very own personalised prospectus. This will contain the specific course information you’ve requested, plus everything you’ll need to know about life at the University of Derby, such as our accommodation, Students’ Union and much more.

We’re sure there’s a course at the University of Derby that’s right for you.

And we wish you the best of luck as you begin your exciting journey into higher education.

Derby at a glance � Population of 250,000 � 48% under 35 years � 14% born outside the UK � 1½ hours to London by train � Highest average salary outside London

A young, dynamic cityWith a population of around 250,000, Derby is a relatively small city but one that is increasingly popular with young people. Almost half of its population are now under the age of 35 and this is growing thanks to the promising job prospects and affordable housing.

It boasts the highest average salary outside of London and 12% of employees are in hi-tech functions. That’s four times the national average.

Derby has a long tradition of manufacturing dating back to the Industrial Revolution and is home to global companies including Bombardier, Rolls-Royce and Toyota.

A bright futureDerby has received signifi cant investment in the last few years thanks to a £2 billion regeneration masterplan. This work is still ongoing and future developments include an Olympic-size swimming pool and a £20 million hi-tech focused business park.

Friendly, lively and multicultural Almost 14% of Derby’s population were born outside of the UK, so it’s a city of many cultures.

The people are friendly and welcoming and there are plenty of ways to spend your free time:

� Shopping: You’ll fi nd big brands like Apple, Starbucks, Wagamama and Topshop in the Intu shopping centre, while the historic Cathedral Quarter is home to stylish boutiques and independent cafés.

� Sport: Derby people are passionate about sport. You can watch live events at Derby County Football Club, Derbyshire County Cricket Club and now at the new Derby Arena, which includes a velodrome.

� Culture: Derby has a growing cultural scene, including QUAD, a centre for art and fi lm, Déda, the only dedicated dance house in the East Midlands, and several interesting museums and galleries. It also hosts Derby Festé, a spectacular outdoor event combining music, performance, dance, fi lm and more.

� Nightlife: The city is home to a handful of theatres and live music venues, including the University-owned Derby Theatre, and around 30 cinema screens showing Hollywood blockbusters, as well as independent and world cinema. There are plenty of bars, clubs, pubs and restaurants in the city centre to keep you entertained. They cater for all tastes – from cocktail drinkers to craft beer connoisseurs, and from alternative music fans to house music and RnB lovers.

� Outdoors: As well as several parks within the city, including one just opposite our Kedleston Road site, the Peak District National Park is only a short drive away. It offers miles of inspiring countryside, magnifi cent stately homes such as Chatsworth, and exhilarating outdoor activities.

While it’s got all the benefi ts of a big city, Derby also has a really friendly and personal feel. Th at’s perfect for someone like me who comes from a small town. Th e city centre is only a ten-minute walk from halls of residence, which is great when you just want to pop into town for the afternoon.

Th ere are plenty of places to explore, such as QUAD art and fi lm centre, the waterfront, parks, the cathedral itself and of course, there are lots of bars and cafés

to relax in. Being a tourist is one of my favourite things to do!

Th e Students’ Union holds two student nights during the week, which many people head to. Wednesday night is when the sports clubs go to Walkabout to celebrate another round of successful matches – those nights are not to be missed, whether you’re on a team or not!

A creative townThe proportion of Buxton’s working population employed in the creative industries is more than double the average for this region. The town hosts a number of renowned arts festivals each year, including Buxton Festival, which incorporates opera, music and literature, and Buxton Festival Fringe, which many artists use as a preview before appearing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

An adventurous townBuxton is surrounded on three sides by the Peak District National Park, so it has become a centre for adventure sports. Mountain biking, horse riding, caving, scuba diving, rock climbing

and abseiling are all on offer in the area. The town also hosts the Buxton Adventure Festival, featuring speakers like Emma O’Reilly, Lance Armstrong’s personal masseur who blew the whistle on him; record-breaking fell runner Steve Birkinshaw; and Paralympic Silver Medallist and ground-breaking adventurer Karen Darke.

A university town The large student population means that Buxton has a good selection of shops, cafés, bars, pubs and restaurants for a town of its size, plus a club that hosts a weekly student night. Buxton Opera House hosts theatre, comedy, music, dance and (of course) opera, and the summer festivals really boost the town’s cultural offerings.

BUXTONSmall town splendourBuxton is a thriving spa town, often nicknamed the ‘Bath of the North’. It’s surrounded by stunning Peak District countryside and has some magnifi cent buildings, including the Georgian crescent, our own Grade II* listed Devonshire Dome, and the Buxton Opera House. Add to that an impressive park, with gardens and lakes covering 23 acres, and it’s no wonder that Buxton is a magnet for tourists – £1.3 million people visit the town each year.

Buxton has been my home for 10 years after moving from South Africa and I chose to stay in this area to continue my studies. � e Buxton Campus is in really picturesque surroundings, off ering a university experience that’s a bit diff erent – and I would say, richer – than the usual.

You will fi nd something of everything: music, theatre and adventure. Buxton has its own tree top challenge, Go Ape, as well as a go-karting track, and Alton

Towers theme park is only a short bus journey away. If you want vibrant nightlife or city-centre shopping, it’s easy to get to Manchester. However, there are brilliant bars and pubs in the heart of the town, off ering local brewed beer and great food. � ere’s also a small club, which hosts a fun student night.

Learning facilities Our Buxton Campus is home to our sport and outdoor leadership and hotel, resort and spa management courses. It is based in the magnificent 18th century Devonshire Dome, once used for stabling horses belonging to wealthy Georgian visitors to the spa town, and subsequently a hospital. Now it provides the perfect backdrop for our Event Management students, providing a fantastic venue for real-world learning.

Among its facilities are:• TheDevonshireSpa,acommercialspa

which acts as a classroom for our spa management students and is open to the general public

• TheDomeRestaurant,whichservesdelicious, contemporary dishes prepared and served by our students under the watchful eye of our chef lecturers

• OaklandsManorisour58acreadventureactivities centre and home to our exciting outdoorcourses.Thesiteincludesaclimbing wall, rope courses and a variety of nature areas for those interested in environmental areas of study. Groups from across the University, including students from other courses, come to Oaklands Manor to take part in problem solving, team building and leadership activities, led by students on the outdoor courses.

I think the beauty and heritage of the town is captured within The Dome itself. It reflects the serenity of Buxton and is very different from a city campus. The Buxton Campus is intimate and you have access to the wonderful facilities used by other courses such as the spa, restaurant and the college hair and beauty salons.

Our classes are a lot smaller than usual, allowing you to really get to know your course mates and allowing your lecturers to get to know you. Essentially, you are a big fish in a little pond. Buxton Campus’s sports teams are also very competitive and are a large part of my student life!

which acts as a classroom for our spa management students and is open to the general public

• TheDomeRestaurant,whichservesdelicious, contemporary dishes prepared and served by our students under the watchful eye of our chef lecturers

• TheDevonshireLibrary• OurHarpurHillSportsCentrehasafitness

suite and gym, space for various sports and an outdoor climbing wall

• OaklandsManorisour58acreadventureactivities centre and home to our exciting outdoorcourses.Thesiteincludesaclimbing wall, rope courses and a variety of nature areas for those interested in environmental areas of study. Groups from across the University, including students from other courses, come to Oaklands Manor to take part in problem solving, team building and leadership activities, led by students on the outdoor courses.

“

I think the beauty and heritage of the town is captured within The Dome itself. It reflects the serenity of Buxton and is very different from a city campus. The Buxton Campus is intimate and you have access to the wonderful facilities used by other courses such as the spa, restaurant and the college hair and beauty salons.

Our classes are a lot smaller than usual, allowing you to really get to know your course mates and allowing your lecturers to get to know you. Essentially, you are a big fish in a little pond. Buxton Campus’s sports teams are also very competitive and are a large part of my student life!

Our Chesterfield site provides you with a friendly and supportive learning environment if you’re studying the Advanced Diploma in Nursing Studies course.

Among our learning facilities are:• ITsuite• Virtualclassroom• Astateoftheartclinicalskillssuite.

You’ll be able to use the hospital library and also a selection of books on site and can socialise in the on-site cafeteria and group studyareas.Thetowncentreanditsamenitiesare only a short walk away.


““

At the moment, the campus only houses students on the adult nursing degree, so it’s specifically designed for our needs. It contains a brand new clinical skills suite so we can use up-to-date facilities when simulating practice. There are also numerous good-sized lecture rooms and a library/computer suite for quiet study. The small class sizes mean you get more support from fellow students and tutors, which is invaluable.

There are plans to upgrade the facilities further and the links between other campuses and neighbouring universities are improving too. I would certainly encourage prospective students to study here.

Denis O’ConnorFine Art

Denis O’Connor has been teaching Fine Art at Derby for 20 years. Once a full-time lecturer and course leader for Fine Art, these days he strikes a balance between teaching and his own creative output. Denis’s company, Sculpture Works, creates art for public spaces both in the UK and Ireland. Alongside this, he produces work for museums and galleries.

He uses his experience beyond the classroom in his teaching. Students from the Fine Art course have been involved in a project with the National Trust at Ilam Park in Staffordshire since 1994 – here they work to interpret the natural landscape through making site-specifi c art works. This is one of a variety of options open to second year students – others include work with local manufacturer Rolls-Royce and with Derby Museum.

“It’s hard to survive as an artist,” says Denis, “So I like to both engage and encourage students to undertake opportunities within the wider arts network.”

Denis is also a fi rm believer that travel extends students’ critical and social thinking and co-ordinates European fi eld trips to explore art and culture in cities such as Berlin, Barcelona and Madrid. “Students come back fi red up from the trips,” he says. “They’re a great wayto learn.”

Ian TurnerBiology and Forensic Science

Award-winning lecturer Dr Ian Turner is something of a science superhero. A Senior Lecturer in Biology and Forensic Sciences, Ian has been named a National Teaching Fellow – these awards recognise a small number of people each year for excellence in teaching in higher and further education. Ian is well-known among his students for his novel approach to lecturing, where his emphasis is on educating the audience

by entertaining them. Costumes, props, drama and even the odd handstand can feature in his lectures. Ian has also delivered popular public lectures, sometimes in costume, on the science behind comic book heroes’ powers, Dr Who and Star Wars.

Ian says: “Aristotle said educating the heart without educating the mind is no educating at all. I take this to heart and try and make sure my teaching is both enjoyable and enlightening by using any means necessary!”

Becky MantonTeacher Education

Rebellious crayons and friendly giants may seem unlikely teaching aids, but Becky Manton is putting them to good use in the classroom. A University of Derby graduate, Becky (pictured left) is a former primary school teacher. She has been sharing her love of teaching with students since she became Senior Lecturer in Teacher Education in 2012. In 2013 she was awarded the University’s Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Inspirational Lecturer of the Year.

Becky uses children’s literature, from classics such as Roald Dahl’s BFG to new picture books such as Drew Daywalt’s The Day the Crayons Quit, in every class she teaches.

Becky is passionate about her role, which she says is not making students teach a certain way, but to give them possibilities and encourage them to fi nd their own teaching style. Becky fi rmly believes that learning happens all the time and that her passion for teaching comes across to her students when she teaches them.

At Derby you will be learning from tutors with industry and research expertise, who have a passion for their subject and are committed to getting the best out of you. Guest lecturers from the commercial world also bring new perspectives to your studies. With such expertise at hand, it’s not surprising that the standard of teaching is consistently rated as our strongest point in the National Student Survey.

Our team of criminology experts have a wealth of academic and practical experience; simply put, they have ‘been there, seen it and done it’. Our courses are practical, stimulating and career focused, and our fantastic facilities include law

courts, interview suites and a crime house. We think there is no better place to study criminology.

Work with professionalsOur lecturers are experienced scholars and researchers. Most are former practitioners, which means they have worked in agencies such as the police, probation, youth offending teams and the courts. Not only that, some modules are taught by specialists who are still working in their fi eld including a judge, a coroner and a cyber-crime expert.

We’ll equip you with the skills that will be of interest to employers. You won’t just be sitting in lectures learning about criminology; you can become a Special Constable, undertake research within a practice setting, and visit courts, prisons and youth offender training centres to see for yourself what it takes to meet the day-to-day challenges of a criminal justice practice.

Real world learningAt Derby we teach ‘real world criminology’. You will learn how theory relates to policy and practice and work on real cases. We have excellent relationships with organisations working across the criminal justice system. This means that during your studies you’ll have

the opportunity to liaise with clients, assist the police in public order exercises, visit prisons and much more.

All of this will allow you to experience the challenges of applying criminological theory to policy and practice.

Study abroadOn our criminology degrees you can choose to spend time studying abroad to really broaden your experience and knowledge. You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in an international student exchange.

Developing an international reputationOur reputation in criminology is growing. Many regional, national and international organisations approach us to work with them on projects and training.

Our partners include the Royal Malaysia Police, the College of Policing, Derby City Council, the FBI and Nottingham City Crime and Drug Partnership.

Our students achieve some wonderful results and they go on to jobs which are really benefi cial to society, so they are giving a lot back to the community.

Nick HoweSenior Lecturer in Criminology and former Police Chief Superintendent


One of the highlights of my course was a murder mystery exercise where we had to investigate

a crime, collect evidence and conduct interviews. Rather than learning from a book, it defi nitely brought crime scene investigation to life and made it easier to understand.

� regular news � invitations to events � diary dates � special offers and discounts.

Enrolment and inductionYou usually enrol for your course online, but don’t worry if you’re unsure of something or if you haven’t decided what modules you want to study – we’re here to advise and support you.When you’ve enrolled you’ll receive your ID card – which means that you can use our facilities and services – and you’ll receive your student loan.

During your induction you’ll: � receive full information about your course � meet your lecturers and other students from

your course � be able to talk to your programme leader

about your module choices.

Your first couple of weeks will be exciting, fast paced and may be a little daunting. There’s a lot of information to take in, new people to meet and different surroundings to get used to. But everyone feels the same, so don’t worry!

Matt Thompson’s product designs hit the headlines even before he graduated.

Matt’s hi-tech/low-cost Myo hand, which puts working prostheses within financial reach of amputees in developing countries, won Gold in 2014’s Creative Conscience Awards.

During his course, Matt also won a design challenge of a very different nature in a competition sponsored by high end furniture manufacturer, Alexander Rose. Matt’s design beat off strong competition and Alexander Rose MD, Borge Leth, told us that Matt won for his “elegant, practical, mid-century modern design, re-interpreted in contemporary weave materials.”

As part of his prize, Matt flew to the Philippines to see his range of outdoor furniture put into production. As well as the thrill of seeing his designs on sale, Matt will receive royalties for the next five years.

Snapped up for a product design role with 3Form Design in Hampshire, Matt’s advice for prospective students is to “Learn from everything and everyone. As well as great technical resources, Derby’s lecturers have a wealth of industry experience and it’s rare to have this opportunity to talk to industry professionals.”

How fees workYou don’t have to pay your fees up front. When you accept a place at Derby you’ll need to apply to the Student Loans Company for a loan to cover your tuition fees. You can also apply for support with your living costs. You don’t need to repay anything until you have graduated and your salary has reached a specific level (in 2015/16 this is £21,000 per year). If you never reach that salary level, you won’t pay anything back.

If you do reach that salary level, you’ll pay back 9% each month of any income over £21,000. So, if you were earning £25,000 you would pay back £30 a month. You pay interest on your loan until it is paid back in full. After 30 years, any outstanding debt is written off.

Loans and grants from the GovernmentFull-time English undergraduates receive a range of financial support.

You’ll be able to get a loan to help with your living costs. In 2015/16 the maximum was:

� £5,750 if you lived away from home � £4,565 if you lived at home

You may also be able to apply for a grant for your living costs, which you won’t have to pay back. For 2015/16:

� if your household income was at £25,000 you would have received £3,387

� if your household income was between £25,001 and £42,620 you would have received between £50 and £3,387.

All figures quoted are for 2015/16.
