It’s a lovely campus in a nice city. There’s plenty for students to do and get involved with along side their course. Communication could Be improved
DMU Has a large campus with many different buildings that are accessible to the facilities required for certain courses. The comic and concept art course is located closer to Bede park - just slightly off-campus - but not far enough to cause trouble for students who have their course there. It has all the technology (Wacom tablets, adobe access etc) Completely available, alongside teachers who are incredibly helpful and supportive.

The tutors are very helpful and support you through the tough time, such as my anxiety they supported me and accommodated to this. I couldn’t ask for much more in terms of support and I appreciate that. In terms of improvement it facilitate more student events for us to partake in.
I always have consistent access to my lecturers and feel im given enough support to succeed. I have seen diffiulti3s for other on other courses with issues for admin and international students.
The uni’s alright, most lecturers are just quite helpful (some are terrible). The facilities are good and the overall uni experience is decent The students are a bunch of donuts and a small minority of lecturers are just as bad
Great well-being support facilities and modern campus
I started studying in the begging of the covid-19 pandemic, my first year was held fully online, second year partially online and third year is being held face to face. As an international student during these 3 years and I didn’t feel supported by my university. The ranking criteria of our essays were not clear and feedback usually was not specific and it was hard for me to improve. Overall I am happy that I am studying Psychology, however the university could improve in areas such as the quality of feedback and support.
I really enjoy studying at De Montfort university, tutors are great and we learn so much! However I gave 4 stars for location, there is no car park near the uni and if there is they are so expensive.
The university is over populated No famous restaurants No stalls No entertainment facilities

It's a half and half, a very nice campus overall but with some older buildings. It's overall very good though.
Great place to meet new people, staff are all friendly, and the learning timetable is great as it’s very independent on you and makes you be organised but also gives that time for you to enjoy yourself or work or etc in spare time.
my best experience in the university was how I got welcomed to the university So far, I don’t have any bad experience in this university
The location of the campus being directly in the city centre is very useful and the facilities such as the library and food hall are a good space for students. I think it’s a great place to study and has an engaging learning environment
De Montfort University is a really cool looking modern city campus. The support from teachers is great with constant feedback and support. It’s a great university for people looking for a city feel but scared to go somewhere huge like Manchester or London.
As an art student, I am delighted at range of facilities and the freedom of media to explore.
The best aspects include the campus layout and location. Really close to city centre and the hospitals that I do my placement in. The societies are currently building back up but the social life is limited currently as things haven’t quite recovered from COVID times. The facilities to study include birth simulators for us student midwives to use and they are constantly upgrading so we have the best facilities to use.
Great course with great challenges and experiences
The lecturers always offer great support and job aspects, as well as giving us the best opportunities when available. Easier locations and more facilities suited to practical elements of the course would be good, but seem to be lacking slightly in these areas.
Some of the facilities are good. Like the library. Also some of the staff are good, and very supportive; however this is the minority. The communication of this university is awful, with constant mixed messages and very little support. For example, I have only ever had contact with my personal tutor once over the three years. Also, lectures have been cancelled 8 minutes before starting so we have travelled in for it, or lecturers just don’t turn up


Leicester is generally quite a quiet city, there are brilliant links to other major cities though.
Brilliant course content, teaching staff have amazing lived experiences to learn from- the timetable is too sporadic with too many last minute changes.
