Tracey Ashton
BA (Hons) Travel and Tourism Management

'I came to the University of Derby because it was friendly and welcoming and offered me the opportunities that I wanted.
'I have been here for three years now and can honestly say that it has been fantastic and I have not regretted a single moment!
'Being at Derby has given me the chance to be involved in so many different things. I have met so many diverse people and I have loved it. University can offer absolutely anyone the chance to thrive in the unique environment that is University life and to grow into who they want to be.
'I am now one of the Sabbatical Officers for the Union and I edit the student magazine, both of which I would never have done had I not come to study at Derby.
'Coming to University has been the best decision I have made to date and has given me a major step in the right career direction. University can be what you make it... so get involved.'
