I believe it is a underrated uni. Has good campuses. I think it is we'll organised. The Motorsport engineering course is good and has many facilities. The careers service has often posts updates on new part time jobs, 1 year work experience, holiday work experience...

Well, as a second year I’ve had a bit of time at UOD now and it’s pretty great. Putting in the work makes it feel better because you’re utilising the facilities well, which there are many of, and you get lots of support and guidance with the chosen subject you’re learning.

As a third year I seen he changes the occurred the last two years. Awarded a gold in teaching as been great. However sometime it feels there is no organisation within. I do joint honour which is pain sometimes. I feel like we don't get he some benefit as single honours. I love employment service in the uni they are brilliant

Campus - the campus is well suited for everything. Im in my 3rd year and im still finding areas or shops/food areas i didnt know about. My course - my course is fun, educational, challenging. I do feel though 3rd year hasnt been prepared as well as the last two. The US - they are amazing, they really do listen Career service - again, amazing in what they do. Grateful to have them

The staff are very helpful and attentive, throughout different courses. Great range of rooms throughout main campus with great facilities. Amazing students union - always organising things to do. Range of catering facilities from pub grub to a proper cooked meal and everything in between. Brilliant careers service where students can be notified on careers in particular areas and types of jobs making post graduate life a lot easier. Always something new happening daily in the atrium making each day different to the last. Amazing library facilities and helpful staff with a great range of subjects and journals to help with every assessment - zones for how loud or quiet that area of the library can be is great for group or individual studies. Seats everywhere so plenty of places to sit down between timetabled lectures, workshops, etc. Organisation of things like open days is spot on with the use of current and past students to help run events like an open day. Great sports facilities and easy access to the gym for students with a lot of clubs and societies making everyone able to join if they wish.

Quite a nice university. All the buildings are connected with a free unibus. Surrounded by the large markeaton park. Staff are helpful.
