Nothing beats exploring a new university destination and our Applicant Experience Day is jam-packed with opportunities to tour our facilities, chat with current students and soak up the excitement on campus. But that’s not all…
- A warm welcome: Upon arrival you’ll enjoy a welcome talk from one of our most senior leaders who will introduce you to Derby and set the scene for the day ahead. Welcome talks are held at both Kedleston Road and Markeaton Street, depending on the course you’re most interested in. There’s free parking at our Kedleston Road site, DE22 1GB.
- Award-winning accommodation: With our fixed price rent and all-inclusive bills, newly refurbished rooms and residence life programme, there’s no surprise our halls of residence were voted Best University Housing for the third year running in the Global Student Living Awards 2022, 2023, 2024.
- Subject sessions: Gain an in-depth understanding of your course and a sense of what daily life will be like as a university student. It is also a great opportunity to get to know your lecturers and make friends with your future classmates before you join us this September.
- Provisional offers - If you have your grades, or predicted grades, and they meet our entry requirements, our Admissions team may be able to give you an offer in principle. This means that we will chat to you about your hopes and dreams for the future and give you advice on how to submit an awesome personal statement in order to secure a conditional offer to study with us. Our experts will also talk you through the UCAS application process and answer any question you may have.
