The community of the university is so welcoming and there are no short comings when it comes to people to talk to and areas to explore
best aspects: being sociable, working towards my career and fulfilling my dream worst aspects: costs and mental drain
I love the campus and its facilities especially the library and study areas. The food could be improved.
Perfect uni
The area is nice and you get lots of support from the uni
The uni for fashion has a great modern building, with some provided resources, which can really help. There is also a lot of resources and support for my course.
It is amazing and supportive
Great
Amazing university that goes above and beyond. Has so much for students to take part in like ways to earn whilst studying and join societies as well as studying abroad or going abroad for a couple of weeks, it varies but they always have something going on for students.
So far, my experience at DMU has been amazing, lovely people, amazing lecturers and staff that are always willing to provide support and a beautiful campus!
There are many great aspects of my university experience at DMU. The atmosphere on campus is friendly and welcoming, with supportive teaching staff and students who create a positive learning environment. The campus itself is vibrant, modern, and well-equipped with excellent facilities that make studying enjoyable. One of the standout features for me has been the Careers Team. They are incredibly helpful and always willing to offer guidance, whether it’s CV support, job applications, or general career advice. The Careers Hub is especially useful, and it’s clear why DMU is recognised nationally for having one of the best careers services in the country. I have also found the block teaching method extremely beneficial. Being able to focus on one module at a time has helped me manage my workload effectively, without the stress of juggling multiple assignments at once. In terms of areas for improvement, I haven’t experienced any major issues, and my time at DMU has been overwhelmingly positive. Overall, it has been a great place to study with strong academic support, excellent facilities, and a community that genuinely cares about student success.
The best aspects of DMU start with the campus itself. The environment is welcoming, well-maintained and feels completely safe, especially with the presence of the security team. The university also offers a wide range of resources that support both academic goals and personal development. For example, the library provides a large selection of databases that are extremely helpful for research, and the technology available across the campus is excellent. DMU also runs many events such as career fairs, PAVE conferences, networking events and more, all of which really help students build confidence and prepare for their future. The staff at DMU are consistently friendly and supportive. They always take the time to help students, whether it is for academic progress, employability guidance or personal difficulties. The Students’ Union is another highlight. It is a great place to relax after long study sessions and a wonderful space to meet and connect with other students. It truly adds to the sense of community on campus. DMU also shows a strong commitment to employability through regular sessions organised by the Careers Team, which make a real difference in preparing students for life after university. One of the most inspiring people I have met is Andy Morris from the Careers Team. His dedication to supporting students and encouraging their growth is remarkable, and I am genuinely grateful for the guidance he has provided. Overall, I am proud to study at DMU. I am thankful to all members of the DMU community, including academic staff, student support services, the Careers Team and everyone who works hard to support students and create a positive university experience. Thank you to the entire DMU team.
It's very central in the city, and very modern and cool. However, it is a shame the health and life sciences building isnt as modern as others and needs updating
Fantastic experience at DMU! 🌟 Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) Review: My experience at De Montfort University has been absolutely amazing! The lecturers are incredibly supportive and passionate about their subjects, and the facilities on campus are modern and well-equipped. The atmosphere is so welcoming and inclusive — you really feel part of a community here. There are always events, societies, and opportunities to get involved, and Leicester itself is a great student city with everything you need close by. Best aspects: Supportive lecturers, modern facilities, diverse community, and vibrant student life. Worst aspects: Honestly, none that stand out — I’ve had a fantastic time from start to finish!
The university itself is great, the courses are well structured and the academic tutors are great. However, it is difficult to be seen to receive support.
Very Friendly and welcoming
Facilities are top of the class with course specific machinery and instruments that are especially important to develop handling skills. The canteen areas, the prayer rooms and the many disability accessible toilets prove this university to deserve 5 stars when it comes to facilities. The location is great for those who would live in accommodation as DMU is in the heart of Leicester very near to the city centre so shopping, food and social life is amazing for students. Would have earned 5 stars if it wasn't for the car parking issue, most people who commute by car cannot park for free or for a cheaper price on land owned by DMU but have to pay private car parking spaces or risk getting a ticket. 4 star rating. Student support is great with lecturers offering email support for their students. DMU seems like one of the best universities to get hired whilst studying (i.e Placement Years, Internships) definitely 4 stars Campus look and feel is integrated with main buildings not too far apart with reasonable walking distance between them. Food areas and shops are near every building for accessibility and comfort. 4 stars atleast. Student life is mostly great with many activities and opportunities for students. Kimberlin Library access til late is very useful and the individual/group study rooms are very popular. The student hub could do with some improvement though like more lenient access to the games room or group bookings. 5 stars earned. Well deserved. Personally, I haven't had much or any interaction with the student union but am aware of their contributions and feel it plays a huge part in many student's study lives and bring ease and resolve. 4 stars. Overall 5 stars as De Montfort University has exceeded my expectations since my beginning last year and I am looking forward to continuing my journey with them.
Good support, great facilities and good lecturers. Improvement: Renewing older buildings
4.4
The easy accessibility to more support for mental health or life struggles is really good to see, I would only improve more general check-ins on students from personal students if the uni is aware they are vulnerable in any way.
The access to all workshops and on campus facilities like the library are super helpful, but more input from personal tutors and one to ones is definitely needed
