The University of Derby has two main campuses, located in Buxton and Derby.
Derby is a thriving city with loads going on, but it is not too big to be overwhelming - just over 200,000 people live here.
It is at the very heart of Britain and has the best of both worlds, it is a vibrant, contemporary city which still holds on to its ancient heritage.
There is also some fantastic surrounding countryside in Derbyshire and the Peak District.
Up and coming
Around £1.5 billion will be invested in the City by 2020 so it is definitely up and coming.
Everything is close by
We are creating a `University Quarter` so that all of our campuses and halls are in one part of the City.
Our eight halls are already within walking distance of the main campus, but we`re moving some courses into new campuses - like our new Markeaton Street campus - so that everything will be closer together and there`ll be plenty of new facilities.
New £21m Markeaton Street Facility Opens 2007
We are really excited that we will soon be opening the first bespoke arts, design and technology facility built in England this Millennium. And you could be one of the first students to study here!
We have invested over £20m to create an architecturally innovative building that is also ecologically sustainable and environmentally friendly. The building features lots of open plan spaces and large windows which flood the studios with natural light.
More than 3,000 students will be based here, bringing together courses from arts, design, media and technology under one roof. Each subject area will have fantastic new facilities and equipment. The use of large shared spaces will encourage people to exchange ideas, so there'll be a really exciting learning environment, which you could be part of.
Our new University of Derby Buxton campus opened in September 2005 in this beautiful Peak District spa town. Buxton is less than an hours drive from Manchester International Airport or an hour from central Manchester by rail.
We offer a wide range of academic and vocational courses, and our students come from over 80 countries worldwide. We have excellent student support facilities including:
Shopping
There is plenty of shopping opportunities in the city:
The extension to the Eagle Centre by Christmas 2007, will also see more big name high street stores settle here.
Going out
You won`t be short of places to go out to either. There`s our brand new £1/2m Students` Union Bar (SUB) and the three balls the Students` Union organise each year. But if you prefer a night out in the City, you will be glad to know that Derby is really safe as well as having a brilliant nightlife. There are plenty of bars, clubs, pubs, cinemas and theatres.
Sports and activities
If sports are your thing, Derby has the lot: football at the magnificent Pride Park Stadium - home to Derby County football team - cricket, golf, swimming and cycling, with the city being a hub for the Sustrans national cycle route. Or if you`re into walking or cycling, Derbyshire and the Peak District are on the doorstep.
The Derby campuses - Kedleston Road and our new arts, design and technology campus at Markeaton - are not far from Derby city centre. There are also good links with major cities and airports:

- The main shopping centre is being extended to house more shops including H&M and Zara, and it is due to open Christmas 2007
- There will also be a new visual arts and media centre called The Quad by Spring 2008
- A performing arts venue is also planned, and improvements around the River Derwent so the river becomes more of a focus for the City
