Sort:Latest reviewsThey have excellent student support services, access is very straightforward and positive. The options within the students union are brilliant with lots of events put on each week and a wonderful selection of societies to choose from. The campus has a nice modern feel to it throughout most the buildings and has good study nooks and places to be outside of the rooms on your timetable. They are also taking action to promote sustainability throughout the university!

The teachers are all very friendly and highly professional. In terms of the media production major, the practicality is very helpful for everyone to complete the work in practice and is also of great help for future jobs.
AMAZING EXPERIENCE!
amazing university 10/10
The best thing is the societies as there very inviting and very fun
The worst aspect is waking up early for lectures and the best aspect is block teaching
The uni spends the vast majority of its budget on appearances, causing pretty much every other aspect of DMU to suffer heavily due to a lack of funding. It’s a very pretty looking campus, and externally it looks great, but the foundation is fundamentally rotten. It’s very centrally in Leicester, which means city centre is always around a 10 minute walk away which is nice. It’s also close to a river making it very visually pretty, along with a Tescos which is convenient for lunches or whatever. A slight hair in the soup is it’s proximity to Bede Park, which has a lot of knife crime associated with it when it gets dark, but the campus itself feels very safe. The DSU is horrific, they are ridiculously power hungry and prioritise helping themselves over helping students. There are major imbalances in their funding of societies, they have severe Islamophobia issues (they forced all but one Islamic society to shut down after Israel’s invasion of Palestine in order to appear apolitical. Meanwhile, there are around 10 different Christian societies), and they are extremely bureaucratic preventing any complaints from actually getting through. They have also actively fought against peaceful protests held by students, with them falsely threatening litigation against them. DSU is easily the worst thing about DMU, all they do is inhibit students from being able to do what they want to do.
Timetabling has been an issue where we’re given 4 hour breaks and not having things to do then.
Best- my course is exactly what I imagined and is setting me up nicely for the industry. I enjoy the block learning format of the year its much easier for me to do my best, working only working on one project at a time. The social life is really dead, the club is awful, and it's the only one really thats ever 'full'.
I thjnk that the university is very diverse and open very well accompanying for the studens no matter who they are or what they do, i think that for future students this is a great pick overal
Realty great university with great activities for students, great courses and student life
I’ve made lots of good friends and learnt lots already, the uni also has lots of good facilities for students to use
Best : teaching Worst : safety
Dance is fun
Good environment
Love this uni

I chose to study at De Monfort university because it’s close to my home ( student living at home) I wanted to save a little money whilst I studied. The overall experience at this university so far has been alright. However I do feel there can be improvement. For example more one to one teaching. Maybe help with advising students on finances. Better facilities at the library. Putting some more money towards making the campus looking better. And more talks about employability post graduation.
I only have lectures 2 times a week. So i definitely think more teaching and more support. As well as one to one teaching.
