Overall Rating
Good
Good wheelchair access into the university. University has teams to help with finances and disability related adjustments. Not all courses are fully wheelchair accessible (field trips) but accommodations can be made.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
There is a ramp into main entrance. Reception desk has a lowered section and there is a wider barrier for wheelchairs. There was mesh on the grass too which would aid in wheelchair access. Hearing loop signs were also spotted. I didn't see any braille signs. They have sunflower lanyards for those with invisible disabilities.
Parking & Transport
Good
The Derby Uni buses stop outside the main entrance. There accessible parking bays near entrances.
Accessible Toilets
Good
Toilet in visitors waiting room is accessible even though the door doesn't say it is. Navy coloured grab rails around toilet and sink. Plenty of floor space. The loo in the atrium isn't worth the effort if you're in a wheelchair as it is tiny. No changing places facilities.
Staff
Excellent
