Student Activities:
Led by your elected Vice-President Mark Dunning the Student Activities team is responsible for providing extra curricular activity to students studying at the University of Derby. The team is dedicated to providing you with the opportunity to compete; develop and get involved in a wide variety of activities. There are many ways for you to become part of the world of Student Activities, whether it is through the Junction 49 volunteering programme, British Universities Sport Association (BUSA) or Sport 4 All sport programmes, joining one of our societies or maybe learning and developing new skills via enrolment on the Derby Award. The Student Activities department has links with a number of external bodies who can also provide you with activities and enjoyment whilst on your degree here at Derby, you may want to apply for the development fund for support in getting coaching badges or attending conference and training days.
Take some time to explore the world of Student Activities by looking at the different clubs and societies on the right hand side, to find out more about the club or society you want to join just email or phone the President. The process of joining a club or society is very simple and the first opportunity to join is at fresher’s fair, but don’t worry if you miss it as you can join at any time during the year at the Student Union reception. You may find that after searching the site there isn’t something for you, if this is the case then you must join the army of students who have gone before you in setting up your own club or society, all our clubs and societies are set up, ran by and are for students.
Finally, if you prefer to be involved in individual activity and join a sports team is not for you please remember you have an affordable fitness suite based on the kedleston road campus. Fizeek Fitness Suite provides a safe and enjoyable fitness experience as well providing a range of fitness classes and diet and nutrition programmes.
