Welcome to the University of Derby - a much-loved second home to more than 2,000 international students from over 100 countries.
Excellent teaching and real-world learning prepare you for a successful, fulfilling career. Our courses are closely linked to industry, and students can benefit from our strong relationships with employers and professional accreditations.
For example, this year our international students were personally invited by the University’s Chancellor, Lord Burlington, to an exclusive event in the grounds of his magnificent stately home, Chatsworth House (pictured below).
We are currently offering scholarships and discounts totalling up to £3,000 for international students joining in September 2024 or January 2025 – visit our scholarships webpage to check if you are eligible.*
If you need support, we will make sure you get it. From our award-winning accommodation, Union of Students and Careers and Employment Service, we've got you covered.
Derby is a diverse and welcoming city. The Purple Flag awarded the city of Derby as a safe and inclusive place where international students can immerse themselves in British culture and enjoy once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
The best choice for international students
Our award-winning halls are the best choice for international students, offering a wide range of rooms to suit all budgets, great facilities and a safe and secure environment close to your lectures and on the Unibus route. As a member of our halls community, you'll be able to meet, socialise and make friends with residents from all seven of our halls of residence via our free Residence Life programme of activities and events.
We were delighted to be named Best University Housing and Best Environmental Management (UK & Ireland) in the 2023 Global Student Living Awards.
These awards are extra special to us as the results are 100% based on direct feedback from home and international students – a true testament to our fantastic Student Living team who is always on hand to help.
A warm welcome awaits you at our halls. We understand that International students are limited in the amount of luggage they can bring, so we provide a few things you'll need, free of charge:
On arrival, you'll find your bed made up and ready for you, and the bedding on the bed is then yours to keep.
We'll also leave you a free kitchen pack with some basic kitchen items in to get you started.
Because you could be arriving at anytime and may be tired after your journey, we provide you with a small arrival pack containing snacks and water.
Guaranteed accommodation
Finally, remember, if you make the University of Derby your first choice and apply for accommodation by 31 July, we can guarantee you a room in our halls of residence. Applying well before you arrive gives you peace of mind.
