Year 7 Experience Day (Derby campus)

Our Year 7 Experience Days provide students with the opportunity to see what university is like, learn more about university life, look around our facilities and meet our current students. On the day students will take part in a tour of Kedleston Road, student life activity and play our 'To Skill a Mockingbird' game to develop key skills needed at university.
