Student Life

Derby is a thriving city with loads going on, and it's the safest city in the East Midlands. Our campus is on the outskirts of the city, and all our halls of residence are between the campus and the city centre, so you'll be living within easy walking distance of both.

Our Derby Campus is made up of our Kedleston Road, Britannia Mill and Markeaton Street sites. They are all very close together, so you can easily walk between them. And they are linked by a free shuttle bus too.

At Kedleston Road, you will find a newsagent, cash machine, bookshop, and various cafes.

Buxton is a beautiful town with lots of character on the edge of the Peak District National Park. Our hall of residence is right in the town centre and just a couple of minutes walk from the campus.
