Support needs
If you've got any special support needs to do with mobility, sight or hearing problems, please apply as early as you can so we can make arrangements before you start the course.
Will I have an interview?
It should say on the specific 'entry requirement' information on the web page for the course you're interested in.
Generally, if we can't make a fair decision based on your UCAS form or if a successful interview is part of the entry criteria for the course, we'll invite you to come in for an interview.
Can I come to visit?
We'd love you to come to one of our open days because they're a great way to make sure Derby's the right university for you.
