Key Information

At DCG we believe the best tutors are usually those who have real-world experience of working in the field they’re teaching. So, in most cases, you’ll be taught by someone who has worked in the industry as a nurse, social worker or other relevant profession.

As well as sharing their knowledge and experiences with you, they have crucial industry connections with leading employers like the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust. It means you’ll benefit from industrial placements, workplace visits, community projects and expert lectures. As part of your studies, we also offer a full range of assistance to ensure you have a great learning experience.

Discover our campuses and facilities here. Each campus page contains:

  • 360-degree images of our facilities
  • A location map
  • A list of courses that are run at the campus
  • Student Success Stories
