On October 6, 2020, The Duchess of Cambridge visited first-year students at the University of Derby to hear how the pandemic has impacted university life and what national measures have been put in place to support student mental health. The University of Derby is a public university in the city of Derby.
The Duchess met with staff and students from the University of Derby and colleagues from the UK’s student mental health charity, Student Minds, ahead of World Mental Health Day on Saturday 10 October.
The visit concluded at the University’s Sports Centre, where the Duchess met with the President of the Union of Students, Corey Beck, and members of the Union’s Sports Societies to discuss the Peer Assisted Learning Scheme and how sport has helped them and their mental wellbeing.
The Duchess wore a new handcrafted checked wool coat by Massimo Dutti, and a new cashmere crew-neck sweater by the same brand.
