University wins top student accommodation award

The University of Derby has secured a top national award for the standard of its student accommodation for the third year running.

It recently won the Best University Housing accolade at the 2024 Global Student Living Awards (UK and Ireland).

It also scooped the Best Environmental Management award for the second year running.

The awards are based exclusively on direct feedback from more than 150,000 students at universities and colleges across the UK and Europe.

Steve Ward, head of student living at the University of Derby, said: “To be recognised by students as the number one provider of university accommodation in the UK and Ireland for the third-year running is an incredible achievement.

“This flagship award considers all satisfaction measures across the survey, meaning that students at the University of Derby rate their overall experience in our halls higher than all other students.

“From the moment students book their accommodation with us, right through to the pastoral care and support that we provide when they arrive, we aim to give students a great experience at Derby.

“To win this award again is a wonderful accolade for our teams who put the student experience at the heart of all their work.”
