It's Fresher's Week at the University of Derby.

So, it's time to join one of the longest established societies at the university - the multi-award-winning UoD Geological Society!

Pop down to the Sports Hall today between 11 am - 2 pm to meet the committee & see some cool rocks and fossils!

“Derby equipped me with a degree that emphasizes practical knowledge, integrating extensive field excursions and hands-on geoscientific skills directly applicable in the mining and exploration sectors. The degree's focus on real-world skills, rather than being narrowly centred on academic niche topics, has been invaluable to my career. ”
