History
Our roots can be traced back over 150 years to 1851, when we opened as a teacher training college.
The college evolved over the years and through a series of mergers the Derbyshire College of Higher Education was established in 1983.
University status was awarded in 1992, since when the University of Derby has grown significantly and built a reputation for delivering academic quality underpinned by practical education.
Location and Transportation
The UK’s most central city – London and Manchester are around 90 minutes away and Birmingham is 35 minutes away by train. The nearby East Midlands Airport gives Derby a global reach.
City centre – The main Derby campus is made up of three sites based at Kedleston Road, Britannia Mill and Markeaton Street. It’s located around one mile from the city centre and our regular bus service means you can get there in under 10 minutes. It now also has a presence in the city centre through the relocation of the School of Law to One Friar Gate Square in September 2015.
Additional campuses – Situated in the heart of the Peak District, our Buxton campus is just one hour away from Manchester. We’re also expanding our campus in Chesterfield, a short distance from Sheffield, with a refurbished Grade II listed centre opening in autumn 2016.
