Location is fab! So close to everywhere
Lecturers are so supportive no matter what
The course is great! it offers experience in all aspects of the film industry, and we study very diverse material which makes for meaningful and engaging lectures/workshops. The student support is really good: we are all assigned a personal tutor for the duration of study, who regularly check up on us and offer any and all forms of support, with a plethora of knowledge and experience they are able to make uni just that much better. The location is perfect, with town centre just 10 minutes away and all the student accom within a 15 minute walk it's great for those who prefer a more laid back uni experience. The accommodation is very affordable in this area: ranges from around £90pppw - £250pppw. Night life is also really good, lots of night clubs and pubs nearby and they all have good student offers, and the societies at DMU often partner with them for extra discounts too.

The facilities and student life would be the best aspects, I also really like the global and international experiences available - the worst one would be staff and how prepared they are to teach
Right in the City Centre it's a really convenient spot to be in, Societies are fun and engaging, facilities tend to work really well other than eduroam Internet being a little slow but that is the case everywhere
It is an amazing place to study, the campus always has a great feel about it. The facilities are very good, my favourite is the libary. My lecturers are so supportive and I am on track to gaining a 1st.
The student support is amazing, they've been so incredibly helpful in the difficulties I have faced during my time on the course so far. Some of the facilities are outdated and need some form of modernisation.

Dmu is a really great place to study as there are lots of resources available to help with the course. Also the block teaching method is so good it helps us stay onto of uni work while also allowing is the time to do other things as well. Honestly I dont think anything needs to be improved Dmu is doing really well :)
First things first, Leicester itself is a cultural city with people of different diversity, which makes it easier for an international students to interact and know each other. Second being that the university is located in Leicester, the cost of living is not that expensive compared to other cities like London etc. What needs to be improved most is international students support. As much as the support is needed, they take a while, or rather keep giving you numbers and emails that you call, sometimes it's picked ,at times not picked. Again in terms of schoolfees, sometimes international students might struggle with schoolfees. However, as much as you try and explain to them that you are struggling and need sometime to pay the fees, there are some staff that are so rude to the extend of telling you when you came here you said you can support yourself, that's true but money is just never there waiting, at times we end up using the money or emerging emergency and that's life. They should atleast try and give students time, some of us go through hard times and we need to be listened to. Either way there is no way we can pay fees for 3 years and just leave it at that, we will still pay.
Very modern & campus is near each other. Student life in terms of independency
It is a good place to study because the University is very close to the city centre which is nice to go to after uni. The campus looks good overall, some of the science buildings are quite old looking but have good facilities nonetheless. There could be more places to eat on campus: there is only a subway which is not everyone’s cup of tea. DMU should offer a bursary for all low income students for extra financial support at University. There are not many active societies which makes it harder to socialise but the nightlife in Leicester is very active if that is what you are into.
The campus itself is quite big with all the facilities you would need but at the same time not so big that you have difficulties in reaching your classes. The library is amazing as well with a huge array of course books as well as novels. The students union doesn’t feel like it’s even there once the course starts so maybe hosting some activities after freshers would be good.
DMU has so much to offer, making it a great place to study. The lecturers are friendly and supportive, creating a welcoming learning environment where everyone is encouraged to reach their potential. The campus is modern, with excellent facilities and a strong sense of community that makes it easy to connect with people. There are plenty of societies, sports, and global programs, which really enhance the student experience and offer unique opportunities.
Clean and relatively well orgainised
Location is the best part very central of Leicester the heart of Leicester. This year they put emphasis on helping student prospects. The lecturers are as helpful as they can be to someone who is willing to learn. I hope they support me postgraduate if I need
18-24 years
it could have better support and easier to access
Very little student support for almost anything. No matter who you email you don't get a reply or you must wait weeks. Mental health support is dismissal considering you're doing a mental health course. A some tutors are not accommodating to some students needs and disabilities. Struggled a lot through my 3rd year and when trying to reach out for support which is difficult enough to do I got no help and quite frankly some very bland, rude replies to emails.
