We have two safe campuses in the heart of England, which are about 30 miles apart. They are both easy to get to by road, rail and air.
Derby is a bustling city about 30 minutes from Nottingham, an hour from Birmingham and less than two hours from London. There are people from all over the world living in Derby - it's small, safe and friendly with a thriving multi-cultural community.
Buxton is a small picturesque town on the edge of the Peak District National Park. It's about an hour from Derby and Manchester and less than three hours from London. Buxton is much quieter than Derby, with miles of beautiful countryside nearby - it’s a really safe and friendly place to be.
