“Helpful staff, great facilities and excellent course content”

Laura Hopewell

“Sociology at Derby did not disappoint. Topics covered helped to inform me about ways of looking at the social world. While studying, I did a placement with adults with learning difficulties in my local college. This was very worthwhile and also helped to make my CV stand out a little bit more.

“The helpful staff, great facilities and excellent course content culminated in my final year dissertation which highlighted the injustice faced by individuals who suffer with mental health problems and the subsequent injustice felt by society as a whole.

“The course was very rewarding; I gained a great deal of knowledge that I find helpful both intellectually and on a personal level. I would absolutely recommend completing a degree at the University of Derby.”
