Currently in my first year cyber security at DMU and its' going okay the tutors are great and are knowledgeable in their areas and are willing to answer and explain in more detail if you don't understand I particularly struggle in the mathematic portion of the course as it's not my strong suit. Modules you can download based on the weeks with the seminars and lectures are exactly what you are taught for the exams, tests and weekly assessments although some the modules could be explained better particularly for myself the mathematics aspects as its not my strong suit such as binary, decimal, octal and hexadecimal conversions I had to watch a couple of youtube videos to get a basic understanding saying that there's support if you need it especially in maths and English. There are several sports clubs and society's for students to join in DMU I currently joined the jujitsu sports club as I love martial arts and wanted to get back into it, I also learn Japanese in the evenings from DMU global at a basic level which I'll be looking to expand as I want to work abroad in Japan in cyber security in the future. All in all DMU is a great place to study and has excellent support if you require it it's perfect for me as I aim to do my degree the figure out my options in the future.
So far the university has been really supportive, with amazing mental health services, an incredible disability team, and easy access to support. I've had a really quick and simple time getting signed up all the various help they offer, such as financial support/advice, study skills advisors, estrangement/transitions team, etc. The campus feels really inclusive and I feel safe when on campus. It also just well maintained, the library is really good quality with plenty of space to study, looks good but not uncomfortably modern. It's right next to the city center of course so really convenient for student living. I've personally had an easy time accessing student life and interacting with my peers, but for some people the societies meet a bit too late (7PM). Personally, my societies allow for a lot of engagement outside of the alloted time (LGBTQ+ society, reading society). I might just be lucky because my course is incredibly friendly. Even so, the student life is there and is supported by the uni in many cases, rather than you having to make it yourself. Student's union holds a lot of events throughout the year, but as a first year I've not got a lot of experience with how they handle student issues. Still a really good experience so far :) I found it super easy to adjust to uni life thanks to the support.

Great uni. Very inclusive of gender, sexuality, disabilities, race and religion. Lovely lectures who are willing to help with course material and are understanding of how personal issues may affect a students learning.
I found the lecturers so obliging and at the end gained a really good rapport. I enjoyed the course too and the city as a whole
Studying at DMU has been an amazing experience, the staff are super helpful and want you to succeed. Their are a range of resources to support your study such as libraries and computers. Their are classes and workshops held regularly to develop your academic skills such as report writing and referencing. The student union is always lively and engaging and its an amazing atmosphere which makes DMU an incredible University to study. I would 100% recommend DMU to anyone. You won't regret it.
Very helpful and great support from DMU, I have been in contact with them this whole time and they helped me in many situations. Great mental health support system and amazing people. Great laboratories, always clean and stocked with everything we need. Tutors listen to us and always are happy to accommodate our needs.
The lessons aren't boring and isn't too long. My standard road to the university takes only around 10 minutes.
The university is a great and supportive environment. Staff are understanding and their are easy mechanisms in place to receive support. Teaching is informative and interesting, with lecturers from a range of backgrounds. My key point for improvement would be for more affordable on campus food and entertainment. The SU often feels very distant and gets far less interaction than others. Also occasionally some technology doesn't work - but most (including the computers) are fantastic.

pro: Classroom atmosphere, professor encouraged education. dev: Conflicts in roommate relationships.
Classroom atmosphere, professor encouraged education. The course schedule is unreasonable.
The scenery is good. The city is relatively old and not highly developed.
Apartment location. The open position of the gate.
