University of Derby in the Community

We believe our region's bright future is best secured when we work together. We receive a great deal of support from local people and organisations across the East Midlands and so we're always looking for ways to 'give back' to help make our communities a better place for everyone.

Whether that's through providing great teaching and training, supporting local jobs, or caring for the environment, we're determined to make a positive contribution.
