Official University of Derby 2021 applicant thread

Welcome to the thread for people who are thinking of applying to the University of Derby for 2021!

This is a place where you can:
Chat to other people who are applying to Derby
Find applicants who are looking at the same course as you
Chat with us and ask us anything that’s on your mind

If you're not sure where to start, here are a few ice-breaker questions you can answer:
What course are you applying for?
What subjects are you studying now?
How are you feeling about starting university?
How far along the application journey are you?

We also have separate threads where you can chat about accommodation and student life in Derby.

If you are looking for information about the Covid-19 pandemic and our response to it, please take a look at our coronavirus information pages. We update these pages as circumstances change. They contain advice on things like remote working and on looking after your wellbeing, and we answer a host of FAQs.

For general information about coming to the University of Derby, our Study pages are a good place to start.

Heyyy, I'm wanting to go to Derby next year (2021) to study policing. Is anyone wanting to do the same or go to Derby for a different course?

Also if there's any current students let me know what it's like :smile:
