5 November 2020

The University of Derby has won a prestigious national award for its commitment to social mobility.

With the impact of coronavirus further widening the gap between the most and least advantaged, it is more important than ever that we continue to break down barriers, support achievement and create opportunities for all across our region and beyond, regardless of age, background or location.”
