Best: Location and accessibility to other cities worst: Teaching quality
The campus is amazing, it is completely new and very comfortable, just like student accommodation. The student support is very helpful and almost every time I asked I received good advice. The student's union offers a great number of societies, however, some of them are not really active.

A truly beautiful city. Great housing options. A student city.
The university welcomes everyone as an equal and helps to be understand and represent their cultures.

They should work in more student events along the year, as Covid-19 did not leave place for students to networking as before the pandemic.

The fact that DMU offers a wide range of studies for international students is a great advantage. I can meet lot of people from literally all around the world here which makes my student's experience even better when I'm able to have contact with so many cultures. In terms of improvement, one of the main negative aspects of the campus is the fact that the Food Village closes at 4 pm and I'm not able to eat a proper meal when I have classes till the evening.

International environment with friendly people and academic staff. Lack of discrimination about gender, ethnicity, religion and sexual orientation. Support LGBT+ and organise events. Food village should be open longer than till 4 pm because many students sit longer at university than 4 pm, and it is nice to eat warm food.

I like the campus and the facilities. The look of it is quite modern and I like that it is all packed in one place rather than spread around town. Leicester is a nice town to live in, but it is not very big, so there isn't as many events as there may be in different locations. DMU is in the centre of Leicester which makes it easy to go to town after uni and this definitely makes the student experience better. I really like the university library, it is big and modern and students have access to many different programs and softwares. I also like that it is 24/7 so I can go there even very late at night. I wish other facilities (faculty buildings) were open on the weekends, it would definitely help me to get my work done.

Leicester is a great University city, and the campus is really inviting (This applies to BAL only as this is the department I study in) Professors verbally acknowledge that they do not care about their jobs, professors are not supportive, some professors belittle students. Lack of support for international students (expecting us to take exams at 2am) Unorganized on the teacher and department level Faculty teaching classes they do not have knowledge in Work not challenging -> no engagement by students (1-2 students show up for a 20 person class) Huge culture of cheating DMU prides themselves in being supportive, but as someone who struggled with mental health their services only discouraged me even more from seeking help
DMU is a very student friendly university and provides all sort of opportunities to students, from leisure to professional and academic support.
University has never done anything right

I really love the design building here. It’s very clean and has various workshops anyone can use. All the technicians are very friendly. I also love the support for replacement years. If I send them my CV and Cover Letter, they give me a detailed feedback. As an international student, everything is fine. One thing I want is some more individual group study room in library.
It could be improved by making changes in the way lessons are taught

Great lecturers, courses and facilities. Close to the city centre. Really helpful people working to support students. Great variety of courses and activities to do. Library open 24 hours and full of numerous resources. It should have more activities or resources available for mental health, there is a big waiting list if you need a professional to hear/help you.
There’s such a diverse culture and it’s never boring. You’ll always meet someone new and exciting. The lecturers and tutors are always there to help you through your studies.

To me the best accept of my school is the fact that my institutions has professional body’s to deal with every situation faced by students which is easily accessible. As an international student the worst aspect of my school is it’s high cost of tuition fees
The best aspect of my course is it’s flexibility and availability of lecture materials which is helpful when you can’t understand the lecturer accent you can always go back to your blackboard and re-listen to what was taught The worst is as an international student is understanding a lecturer who has a very fast speaking accent
It’s close to the the city centre and it’s easily accessible
It’s safe, beautiful, always clean, it’s close to the university and supermarket and my flat mate are the best.. I love love everything the only thing I don’t like is the high price rate.
