At the University of Derby, we are pushing the boundaries of knowledge to create a better, fairer and more sustainable future for everyone. Our thriving community of researchers, professionals and practitioners are influencing the creation of new knowledge and sharing their expertise. Our students are learning in state-of-the-art facilities. And we are playing a key role in our communities in Derby and Derbyshire.

We are rooted in our city and region. Through our Civic University Agreement, we are supporting our communities and playing a key role in the long-term prosperity of the city of Derby and the county of Derbyshire.

We know our local industries and communities and are passionate about using our knowledge and resources to support them – from helping local businesses to decarbonise, to training our region’s public service providers.

We think globally too. From coral reef restoration to reducing global warming, we work with partners around the world to foster innovation, develop impactful research and promote growth.
