*Students got a small reward for their timeGood
Very supportive staff
The environment is great and it would be better with teachers having Microphone during the lecture
Studying cybersecurity at De Montfort University (DMU) has been a rewarding experience, offering a well-structured curriculum that covers essential topics such as ethical hacking, network security, cryptography, and digital forensics. The practical learning approach, through hands-on labs and real-world case studies, ensures students develop technical skills crucial for the industry. Experienced lecturers with industry backgrounds provide valuable insights and are highly supportive, making complex topics easier to grasp. DMU’s strong links with cybersecurity organizations open up networking opportunities, internships, and career prospects, further enhancing employability. The inclusive and diverse student community, along with robust student support services, creates a positive learning environment. However, there are areas that could be improved. The heavy coursework and closely packed deadlines can be overwhelming, and a more balanced distribution of assignments would help reduce stress. While the labs are well-equipped, access outside of scheduled hours can be limited, and remote access options could benefit students needing extra practice. Additionally, incorporating more industry-recognized certifications such as CompTIA Security+ or CEH into the curriculum would provide students with a competitive edge. Internship opportunities, though available, could be expanded with structured placement programs to help students gain relevant work experience. Some modules would also benefit from updated course materials to align with the latest cybersecurity threats and technologies. More frequent networking events, guest lectures, and cybersecurity-focused career fairs would further enrich the learning experience and help students connect with industry professionals. Despite these challenges, DMU remains a great place to study cybersecurity due to its strong academic framework, practical learning approach, and industry connections, but addressing these areas for improvement would make the experience even better.
Yeah
Friendly atmosphere
Amazing
The best would be the activities being held at DSU during the year.
I have all the good experience so far studying in this university
More Student Activity Awareness
My course and specific modules would be better with more structure and resources provided. My first module of equity and trusts was very well structured and I felt that it set us up to succeed :)
Better student life perks

18-24 years
First gen student
Some tutors are excellent and some tutors are not they had to take 2 classes to create an account.
The university offers great financial and mental health support. It has course reps to keep on enhancing the quality of student life, as a course I am able to communicate in meetings of problems (if any) around my course. The university keeps me well informed about anything happening at university which makes me feel like I’m part of DMU. The personal tutors make sure that they are accessible to their students. In terms of how it could be improved would be the lecture halls, to make them look more motivating.
