DLC - FREE Academic writing and communication skills for study with a UK university

We are now offering our on-campus, face to face support at Kedleston road from September 2025 onwards. Which is open to all international students or students whose first language is not English. There is no need to sign up to these sessions, come along on the day. 

For further details including a detailed timetable, please see the In-sessional English courses page on the University website. You can also request individual support to ask questions or for guidance with assignments face to face or online.

For individual support (June – August) you can email englishsupport@derby.ac.uk to ask questions or to book a 1 -1 appointment to discuss your work.   

Please note englishsupport@derby.ac.uk is an advisory and support service and not a proofreading service.

We can offer feedback on things like structure, style and development of arguments and part of this could include some feedback on grammatical and language use accuracy. To do this we will look at 1-2 pages of work. To get the most from this service, you should indicate which section you want us to focus on and highlight specific questions for us.
