A cautionary note to science students and users of AI. Always include a scale in your photos. AI attributes the pawprint (no scale) to a cayote, cougar, or bobcat. AI recognises the #derbyuni scale card and the print of a bobcat. No, they belong to feline domesticus aka Bear (a resident of Derby).

Why is Derby the best place to study Earth Sciences? Here are some thoughts from one of our former students If you hold grades, call us on 01332 592025 now for early clearing On results day our phone lines will be open from 08.00 👉https://www.derby.ac.uk/clearing/ #geology #geoscience

“Derby equipped me with a degree that emphasizes practical knowledge, integrating extensive field excursions and hands-on geoscientific skills directly applicable in the mining and exploration sectors. The degree's focus on real-world skills, rather than being narrowly centred on academic niche topics, has been invaluable to my career. ”
