Postgraduate
Welcome to the Faculty of Education, Health and Sciences at the University of Derby
Guy Daly, Dean for the Faculty of Education, Health and Sciences
We offer a great student experience, alongside research excellence and experienced staff, while preparing you for the challenges ahead in today's world.
We have supportive and committed teaching teams made up of highly skilled practitioners from a range of backgrounds, who as well as teaching, undertake a wide range of research and consultancy work at a local, regional and national level.
We use new and emerging technologies to enhance your learning and are as flexible as possible to meet your needs. We understand the challenges of balancing the demands of a busy life, as we've had many years experience of working with people who are trying to study while juggling other aspects of their lives.
- For our Education courses we were delighted to receive 'Outstanding' Ofsted results in May 2010 for our teacher training provision - the highest results Ofsted can record for an organisation.
- By studying our Health courses, you'll have access to some of the best facilities you'll find in local universities. Our Clinical Skills Suite really does bring theory and practice together.
- Our Counselling, Psychotherapy and Arts Therapies courses also use the Clinical Skills Suite, and our counselling suite has both individual and group counselling rooms. We've also recently installed a purpose built dance studio and we're updating our Britannia Mill site to further enhance your student experience.
- If you choose to study any of our Science courses, we have a strong research profile to greatly enhance our postgraduate teaching, and our biological sciences research has been classed in the latest Government assessment, as being of 'international significance'.
Studying for a postgraduate course at Derby will greatly enhance your job prospects and improve your future. But don't take my word for it, come to an open day and find out how you can do it.
We look forward to meeting you.
Guy Daly, Dean
