University of Derby
Derbyshire's only University, the photo shows the tower blocks of the Kedleston Road campus viewed from across the lake in Markeaton Park. In 1992, it was the only college (Derby College of Higher Education) to be upgraded to a University along with the polytechnics. The University has several campus sites in Derby and one at Buxton and they offer a wide range of courses from Access right through to PhD. See http://www.derby.ac.uk for further information.
