We were delighted that so many of our students gave their time to share their thoughts with us, and that former students returned for the event.

More than 140 current and former students reflected on their experience at the University of Derby at a dedicated 'Student Reflective Conference' organised by the Psychology department.
The conference on 12 February (2013) was opened by the Head of Psychology Dr Jane Montague, and Acting Head of the School of Science, Professor Paul Lynch and was chaired by third year BSc (Hons) Psychology student Keira-Ellen Hart.
The students took the opportunity to share their experience and feedback on a range of vital services and support they access during their studies, including: library provision, overall support systems in psychology, careers and employability services, teaching and learning.
Dr Lovemore Nyatanga, Principal Lecturer in Psychology who organised the conference, said: "We were delighted that so many of our students gave their time to share their thoughts with us, and that former students returned for the event.
"On the Psychology programmes at Derby we pride ourselves on our openness to student feedback. We are continually working to enhance students' experiences, by listening and reflecting on their learning journey.
"From this conference we had numerous glowing recommendations of good practice but we are also mindful of the few things we can improve on. We look forward to implementing some of the suggestions made at this successful event."
