Alumni events
The Alumni Relations team at the University of Derby host a number of events during the academic year to showcase its talented graduates
Masterclass series
As part of our Masterclass series we invite graduates back to share their top tips for success with current students, inspiring them to go on to achieve rewarding careers. Graduates meet up with their academic tutors, present to current students studying a related course then break out for networking over refreshments.
"I'm proud of being a Derby graduate and have enjoyed being able to share my life experiences with current students today"

"After listening to all the speakers, I felt inspired to continue my studies with passion and enthusiasm"

We also manage and hold large scale reunions, such as celebrating the 20th anniversary of the University, and offer support to former staff and students who are planning their own reunion events.
"The event was very professionally organised, and I would like to compliment all the marketing staff on their exceptional friendliness, hospitality and organisational abilities"
