Any applicant considering De Montfort University will be fully supported throughout your university experience to unimageable lengths. I am so grateful for the support that I have received throughout my university experience from lecturers and the universities student services. Additionally, the opportunities to take part in extra curricular activities and projects was the best way to enhance my learning within my degree and explore my interests that have led me to certain career decisions. The only improvement I would suggest as a whole would be to implement more seminar sessions because the seminars are much more useful to developing ideas and certain skills when working on assignments.
The support offered to students is really good
The student support system is amazing and the lecturers make it so easy to access support material to the course!
The work environment and facilities. It could be improved if there were more staff available after hours to help in library
the teachers supported me when I had difficulty in understanding some contents of microeconomics, they made available extra classes to help with data handling and excel. Their explanations are very clear and always answer their email when I'm in need. I can access the library and use its facilities which are competitive, I don't have to pay to use some resources as the uni takes the cost of them. I think the tuition fee is used well, as I'm getting all the help needed to be successful in my course.
Very professional and multiethnic
Dmu is the best choice to study and it works for me personally. I would recommend it. It has got good facilities, good student support network. Love it!

De Montfort University is a wonderful place to study because it is one the leading universities for criminology in the U.K, it has won awards for supporting students and for the academic resources it offers. I am studying remotely and thought this would be the challenging aspect about the course. However, De Montfort Uni have made it so much easier. I am able to read books that are in the library online, it is simple to use their service online - especially blackboard. If I need a book that is not available online, De Montfort will deliver the book to my house in Wales!! I am able to use the library computers from my own house - I just log in via blackboard and I have all the services their library computers offer. They offer a wide range of services to assist in report writing, referencing, critical writing and many more... The staff are really supportive too. There are not many areas for De Montfort to improve on, the only aspect I would like to see them improve is for those who work remotely do not have to pay to have the books returned. As we are students a the end of the day!

Lecturers try and make each lecture/seminar/workshop as engaging and interesting as possible, even if you look at the lecture on your timetable and think it’s going to be boring. There’s support from staff all throughout the year, even whilst on placement so you don’t feel as though you’re just left alone with no support. There’s so many opportunities for socialising as well, student union events, societies for loads of interests, on our course they’ve done peer learning tutorials where you get grouped up with people, which is how I met my closest friends at uni. There’s academic support throughout the university too. The library has so many resources, and workshops that can be booked onto and 1:1s to book onto. It’s also open 24/7 which is brilliant.

The facilities and the staff are absolutely amazing. They provide constant support and the lecturers or seminar tutors are very skilled and knowledgeable. They’re always willing to help and push you one step further to do your best. There’s are so many opportunities available, including placements and other experience whilst studying, the course content is broken down so it is easy to understand but it’s also really useful and really good to apply. The skills I’ve learnt at DMU are some I’ve used in everyday life and have really developed me as a person

The autism and mental health support is really great, they’re very communicative about the course, and all of the teachers specialise in what they’re teaching and so know in depth what they’re speaking about. There are a lot of tech issues though with their systems.
Overall my experience is very good so far
The university looks very modern. We have a large business and law building and I would say it is of a very high standard. The University is right in the centre of the city and has great public transport links as well as this the train station is near by. I am part of the disabled students category and I can say they have provided me with much needed support. I believe they have managed well over Covid and the information they provide on our portal (Blackboard) is more than adequate. I do believe I would have really struggled without their support system for disabled students so for that I am really grateful. I believe their Students union could be a bit more inclusive and less intimidating to students, but apart from that the university has a really good sports system put in place. The night life is good and the accommodations are near to campus, but the rent is getting a bit out of hand.
Studying at De Montford University is an amazing experience both as a student and outside student life. As a student I am currently apart of the competitive rowing team, competing in various different competitions which is just amazing. The studying side of being a student is also very good as there are a lot of services in the Kimberland library as well as the very helpful lecturers.

The uni should have more parking available on sight


Good resource to help studying e.g. LinkedIn learning, github, library etc
All in-person. Lecturers reading of PowerPoints word for word.
