Learning & Education

Employer's such as Rolls-Royce and Citibank require talented people and Derby's education provision has evolved to meet this.

Derby's school pupils scored the city's best ever results in 2008 achieving scores above the national average.

£231 million is being invested into Derby's secondary schools through the Building Schools for the Future programme.

Derby College is in the UK's top five Further Education institutions and the University of Derby has invested heavily in making it one of the most innovative in the country.  Derby attracts around 35,000 students each year to add to the pool of talent available.

"There can be few universities with a more modern perspective than Derby."  - The Sunday Times
