An applied university of today and for tomorrow. The University of Derby has recognised that there is an opportunity to drive change which is reflective of the wider changes that are happening both in the university sector and wider society.

At the heart of this is a simple promise: Everything we do is driven by delivering excellence and opportunities for our students, our staff and our region.
