Why the University of Derby Buxton?

Why choose Buxton

In order to ensure that our graduates are fully prepared for employment and gain the employability skills they need we deliver Real World Learning in environments and facilities that closely replicate the world of work. 

This means that on campus you'll benefit from a high quality restaurant and bistro along with a spa and hair and beauty salons, as well as an events company. We also have a Sports Hall encompassing a wide range of equipment within the fitness suite, with purpose built classrooms and a fully equipped sports hall and climbing wall.

We will ensure that you have plenty of opportunities to work with employers and our employability portal will help you to find work placements and part time work in your industry.

The University of Derby Buxton has adopted the approach advocated by the National Council for Graduate Entrepreneurship, for the creation of entrepreneurial universities, educators and students. In doing so we recognises that the success of the University in Buxton and the economic success of the host community are inextricably linked and so we have launched our Project 2012 Pledge.  This commits us to delivering 2012 hours of voluntary activity into the local community between December 2010 and the launch of the 2012 Olympics.
