Art Therapy MA

UNIVERSITY OF DERBY

Fatima - December 2025

The library resources are great. I am based in the campus where there is no library but whatever book I'm looking for can be requested and sent to the campus your in and placed in a locker- Similar to Amazon lockers.
Some of the faculties at my campus aren't the best, e.g. there are only 2 working microwaves in the building for students, so you can be in the queue for the microwave for ages. read full review

Leadership and Management MRes

UNIVERSITY OF DERBY

Md. Mamun-Ur - December 2025

The best aspect of my university experience has been the opportunity to engage deeply with critical thinking and applied research. The course has encouraged me to connect theory with real world issues, draw on my professional background, and develop stronger analytical and academic writing skills. I have also valued the support from lecturers and the chance to learn alongside a diverse group of students, which has broadened my perspectives and enriched classroom discussions.

The most challenging aspect has been managing workload alongside other responsibilities. Balancing intensive reading, assessments, and deadlines can be demanding, particularly during peak periods. At times, clearer guidance on expectations or more evenly spaced deadlines would have helped reduce pressure. That said, these challenges have also strengthened my time management skills and resilience. read full review

Nursing (Adult) MSc

UNIVERSITY OF DERBY

Chidimma Joanna - December 2025

The University of Derby is a great place for me because it reflects the type of learning environment in which I thrive. During my placement, I benefited from being trusted, supported, and encouraged to develop my clinical skills, and I understand that Derby promotes this same hands-on and supportive approach to learning. The university’s strong focus on practical experience, clinical placements, and skill development aligns with my experience of gaining confidence in patient communication, empathy, drug administration, personal care, and moving and handling. I am particularly drawn to Derby’s commitment to developing confident and compassionate healthcare professionals, as this reflects my own values and the skills I have already begun to develop.

While the clinical knowledge provided is of a very high standard, it could be further improved by allowing students more time to engage with the theoretical aspects of the course. This would support students who may require additional time to process and understand complex concepts, ensuring that all learners are able to keep pace and fully benefit from the programme. read full review

MSc Health Psychology

UNIVERSITY OF DERBY

Anca Maria - December 2025

The University of Derby offers a genuinely community-focused environment, where tutors and staff make you feel like a valued part of the university family. They are supportive, attentive, and take the time to understand your individual learning style, encouraging you in ways that feel personal and meaningful. Although there are currently fewer opportunities for involvement in research projects, PhD progression, or on-campus practice roles at Master’s level due to recent staffing changes, the staff remain committed to supporting students however they can. Their dedication and willingness to help truly stand out. read full review
