Official University of Derby 2023 Applicant Thread

Hi everyone!
:hello:

This is the thread for people who are thinking of applying to University of Derby for 2023!
You can meet and chat here to other people who are applying to Derby. You may be doing your A-levels or be a mature student or an international student. This is a forum for sharing experiences and finding things out. And we’ll do everything we can to get you the information you’re looking for.
Here’s a couple of ice breaker questions from us to get the ball rolling:

•

What course are you applying for?

•

What subjects are you studying now (or are you applying as a mature student)?

And you can ask us anything at all about Derby, about the course you’re interested in, about accommodation, student life (we have separate threads on each of those). Anything.
And our Derby Students will be able to tell you what it’s REALLY like to study here.
Here’s wishing you all the best in everything you do!

Hi all,

Myself (a current third-year student) and Amira (a recent graduate) are more than happy to answer any questions you have from course and university-specific to general queries about student life.

All the best,
Olivia
