Sort:Latest reviewsMy best experience at university was being able to find great friends from my course! They motivate me to do well and persevere throughout this course. Most importantly, they make me feel confident. I’ve had one of my worst experiences from using blackboard. The UI is utterly crap, a lot of the features are either unusable or inaccurate.
Good teaching staff, some equipment outdated
Lecturers are not always on the same page, not much consistency between release of learning material. Very delayed marking of work, often taking twice the given time period. Facilities for learning are ok but could be much better - all just a little worn down
Definitely would recommend building relationships with fellow students, tutors and workshop tutors as well! This makes your university experience so much better and you will enjoy attending classes more often. The place is VERY easy to navigate, since the campuses are all compacted into a village-like setting. The map directions displayed are very good, making it easier to navigate the campus for the first time. The only thing I would seriously push for the university courses to do is maintain good communication between students and lecturers. It has improved over time, however it has not maintained its consistency. Something that would definitely help with this, are student feedback meetings with the head of year. This should happen more often and greatens the communication between students and lecturers. Students should take this opportunity to speak up about their course experience.
The staff are extremely helpful and the uni provides lots of great opportunities related to the course. There is lots of support for finding placements. The worst aspect is the location. The supermarkets in the area are not particularly good and often don't have the products you want.
Everything is well sign posted and easy to get around and access, it makes there be much less fuss when it comes to getting to lectures in places I haven’t been to before. Everyone on the course is really helpful in making sure you do well
Really great campus and in a great location too, the uni always have events and socials on to get students involved!
I really love my course the tutors are great and our modules are engaging and interesting! One thing I would like though is more one on one tutor time as continuous individual feedback is especially helpful for this course. On the whole the course is great, with plenty of facilities and on a really nice campus.
The lecturers and the staff at DMU are always trying their best to help guide you in any way they can. You can tell they have your best interests at heart and that they want you to succeed. The amount of support I have received from lecturers who genuinely want to see you do well and progress into the profession is outstanding. They have really taken the time to help develop my passion for law and get me ready for going into the working world. Overall, I have had a really enjoyable experience at De Montfort University even though my first two years were affected by the pandemic. The Univesristy did its best to cope and adapt to the challenges that the lockdowns brought and I believe overall it did work well. The change in assessments made it a much better work environment for me than the traditional testing methods even if I did struggle sometimes with the online lessons. I have had some issues with the administrative side of DMU which has caused a few problems as I have gone through my degree which could have been easily avoided. The staff did try their best to help me in these situations but it did add unnecessary stress to an already stressful degree. the issues were sorted in the end which meant I could carry on focussing on my degree. I would have liked to have been offered more trips through my course but I understand that the pandemic will have affected the ability of the university to provide this. This year has seen the return of DMU Global and other extra curricular trips that I could go on but it would have been impactful on my learning to have gone on experiences that are based around my degree. The extra-curricular offerings of the university are outstanding through the students union, societies and clubs. There is so much on offer and a great way to meet new friends for life. I have been part of the Law Society, street law and the trampolining society/ club and have loved every minute of it. The people are amazing and are always willing to have a good time. The support you can also recieve as a student has been invaluable to me. it has really helped me through this degree and has given me a lot of confidence and support. I highly reccomend!

Honestly, i would say the location is pretty mid as there arent any convenience stores nearby except the one by the petrol station, but we do have silicon central mall which is a 10 minute drive from our university where one can go after classes to refresh themselves. In terms of the staff management and student life, id say the people here are pretty friendly and approachable, this is coming from an introvert so you know i’m dead serious on this one haha. Talking about the campus, id say its not too big nor is it too small, for me it feels like the perfect size which makes it feel more like home. Its a comparatively new branch so the campus is still getting settled in, but otherwise, id give it a 5 star and i know you would enjoy it <3
Lecturers are good and helpful and a lot of outside support as long as you ask for it. Overall a good place to learn
The course is very well structured and the lecturers are very knowledgeable and approachable. The campus is really easy to navigate and has a good atmosphere, as well as being very close to the city centre. My only improvement would be to have more events run by the student union to create more of a community between the students and to give students some extracurricular activities to participate in.
Course is well structured and the tutors are very helpful and know what they are doing. Student opinions and ideas are acknowledged and acted on to improve the course. Campus is in the city centre so plenty of things to do when not studying.
Very good facilities, especially for engineering students like myself. Very nice uni and the lecturers are quite experienced, just wish they would answer their emails.
The campus is lovely especially at night, when the lights are lit it’s so peaceful. The students are lovely, they helped me the most during my university experience and helped with work and stress. I enjoyed the degree a lot however the support is not the best. They expect a lot from students and do not support them enough to do their best.
My lectures make my university experience so much better as they are so supportive, encouraging and recognise when you’re improving and help push you to do your best. I have made some Good Friends on my course and other staff members from other departments are wonderful and so helpful too!
My university experience was very good. My lecturer's were excellent teachers and regardless of their teaching style i absorbed the knowledge easily.

there is so much diversity at the university, you're bound to meet people you will get along with. It gives you a different perspective, opens your mind to a lot of things and exposes you to so many different hobbies As for the negative aspects, no one's going to be on your back to complete that essay before the deadline. It's all on you, you have to create your own motivation.
Great equipment and course, some staff are great

Campus is really greatly worked out and mapped, everything is really close to one another so it is easy to get to the library or any other buildings which is really convenient. There are maps around which is also great but sometimes it is still hard to find certain buildings or how to get into them as some entryways can be tucked away, so could be great for signs to say go this way for this building. Student union is right on campus too which is great and all accommodations are located round the campus so they are all really close so it makes it easier to get there quicker, many options to get food from on campus and student prices too.
The modules are really good for getting hands on and being creative, you have to take your own initiative and go with it. As it teaches you interior design it also teaches you life skills and team skills which is needed in a workspace after university. You are able to book 1 on 1s with your personal tutor when you want and if you see you need help which is really helpful to spend as much time going over what you need and are worried about, it can be about university or personal life worries which is great as it makes you more comfortable. The course is definitely not more practical at the start and you don’t get into learning cad straight away but you learn the basics and how to use certain equipment and learn aspects that will be needed for the other modules after the 1st to get all the basics.
The location is great it’s about less than 5 minute walk to campus and it in between campus and the city centre so walking distance to everything is great and convenient. There are car parking spaces allowing you to park and the moving in and out process is really easy with access to trolleys and carts and someone to guide you to your halls. It isn’t modern and the bathrooms are really small but hold everything you need.
