Over expectating - especially those who need to work alongside university
Lovely staff and lecturers. The facilities are also great, however I do wish there were bookable private room monitors for single and group work in the library.
It's good for studying because some of the teachers take an active role in helping the students. It would be better if more teachers did instead of reading of a slide.

Culturally diverse, superb teaching staff, and a supportive team when it comes to wellbeing, which is really important at university. would recommend to anybody, especially fashion/textiles students and health and life science students. People are too quick to judge DMU just because it’s not a ‘Uni of’ but it makes a real effort to support students and is quickly becoming a recognisably respected university with great alumni and opportunities for all.

More Practical experience for the course could be delivered but overall a fantastic experience so far
I really like the block learning as it has gave me time to understand each module properly and I also like that we only have uni for 2 or 3 days which means I can still do my part time job. One thing we can improve is in my module is that the seminars could be cut down to 2 hours rather having 3 hours seminars and it would be helpful if we could notifications if there is a room change for our classes.
The cultural diversity and the institutional environment are exceptional and made this university a great place to study. I would recommend a couple more local professors, because I only got 1 in all my career and I would love to hear more about this country and use their experience living here to understand more about this country thanks to a local perspective.

My best experience was the way of studies like the design of course work is very good for any international student. And the bad experience was from the staff and from admissions section and income section. Basically I came from a poor country and there is no scholarship or discount for students came from poor country. My fee is funded by my father and when i came here every thing was fine but after 7 8 months due to bad economical crisis of my home country the rate of GBP increased more than 100% and was very hard for my father to pay that fee. So i talked to the DMUIC fee department and he told me that DMUIC will give you a passing out scholarship but make the rest of payment, i need £2500 of fee discount to pay my fee and my father took a loan and pay my fee. After paying 50% of my payment he told me that there's no scholarship awarded by dmuic i git shocked and very disappointed from this kind of behaviour. Than I saw a scholarship page on DMU official website and i saw that if you pay 50% of your tuition fee in first year yo will get £2500 discount in your tuition fee and for the confirmation i emailed to regional officer of my country, she was ayesha qadir she told me that yes you're available. Few days later they send me invoice of my total fee without granting any discount. Then I again start email to everyone and they send me a link for registration and on registration link the fee that was mentioned that had a discount of £2000. But after the 2 3 months they again reply my email of invoice with my full fee. And also the regional officer emailed me that you're not applicable to get this scholarship because you came from DMUIC. And there was no one at this university who can help me or guide me. Rather than helping me out they were giving me false news and messing up everything. So I want a proper department for every student to help them out properly in their problems rather than giving them false news. I've never felt this kind of situation in my back home. Nobody help me out in this situation and still this matter is pending. I have proof and every this of all this matter that happened.
The staff are not helping the students and they do not provide enough support for students during placement as well as academic years.

Gym shold be for free for students.
When it comes to my uni experience at DMU, there have been both great and not-so-great aspects. On the positive side, I've had the opportunity to meet amazing people from diverse backgrounds and make lifelong friendships. The support services at DMU have been really helpful, especially when it comes to academic guidance and career advice. The campus is vibrant and there are always fun events and activities happening. On the flip side, I've had a few challenging moments with workload and balancing my studies with other commitments. But overall, the positive experiences definitely outweigh the negatives.

The best accepts have been meeting new friends and the campus being a walking distance from most places in Leicester. The worst experience was Covid
Student union never used small town with not a big student life night
I like the layout of the building and the design of the building. The university facilities are great and so is the support systems that we are provided with. The tutors are helpful and also insightful. Some improvements could possibly be that maybe some more organisation within the faculty or course to have a clearer timetable

Block teaching works well and lecturers alway on hand to help
