Student success

Celebrating our students

At the University of Derby, we are proud of all of our students and we always enjoy celebrating their success, whether it is winning individual or team awards and accolades, or in their achievements and progress during their time with us.

More than 2,000 students attended our first ever Virtual Summer Celebration, arranged for those graduating in 2020 during the coronavirus lockdown. The event had over 20,000 views, with people from 42 countries either tuning in live or watching the event on demand.

This section includes just some of our students' success stories, which are even more inspiring given what a challenging year it has been.
