First gen student
As an international student I felt quite lonely in the beginning of my studies. However, DMU and societies connected to DMU helped me to feel at home here. I’ve met amazing people that helped me to find myself out in this country and city. Thanks to that I decide to stay in England and move in permanently to this country. My course taught me very important things about my future career. Being here makes me feel confident about becoming who I want to be in the future, therapist. I feel supported by my university in this journey. There’s only one thing that I’d like to be improved here. As a psychology student, I know that good mental health is really important. I’d like for my uni to provide more help in this direction for their students. Waiting for an appointment takes months and we can get only a few appointments. I’d like it to be more accessible for students that need immediate help.
Modern university close to amenities
Student union is amazing, so is the autism team and dsa, their support and opportunities are great. I have had many issues however with the finance and attendance departments which made studying very difficult at times.
De Montfort university makes a great place to study because of how easy it is to get around. Many people are very friendly and easy to talk to when in need. Moreover, lectureres are great!. However, students need to be unpowered abit more and taken into concentration in some areas. For example the students who stay out of Leicester. Also most student accommodation is even more expensive than private accommodation
You get alot of support from lecturers
DMU Is a great place yo study, it has a lot of resources to supplement your learning as well as teachers who are always willing to help. DMU offers great career prospects too and ensures you have your dream job secured. Specifically to me, I wish they still made most of hybrid learning because I feel like that’s the way forward nowadays. Overall my experience is good and much like any university you’ll find some lecturers are more enthusiastic than others.
Nice facilities surrounding the campus, very friendly and helpful. The course itself is interesting and engaging. The university is very open about what they expect from you as a student and what you should expect from the university.
I really love studying at DMU, the wellbeing team are amazing and so supportive. My course is great, sometimes it does feel like they throw you in the deep end and expect you to swim, but overall lecturers are happy to help or explain things further if need be.
Most lecturers find ways to engage and make lectures interesting, however there are some that seem to not really care about keeping students engaged and/or not helping enough when a student is unsure on how to complete work in a module
Great staff so far, Love the set up of the modules
The campus is a very welcoming area and I feel great when I am there, there is lots of support for things such as, work placements, managing money and the overall health of students. Leicester is a great city for university since it’s very diverse and there are lots of social activities to do.
I study first year Film Studies BA (Hons) and I thoroughly enjoy my course, from the varied and exciting content, to the challenging and interesting assessments. The opportunities arising from studying this course keep me motivated and inspired, and I have made a good group of friends. The course lecturers are friendly and full of wisdom, and are more than happy to help outside of scheduled lecture hours. The student union is supportive and provide a vast range of social and seasonal activities and events. The range of societies is good and there is definitely something for everyone. The campus is very modern and is kept neat, which makes for a positive experience navigating through it. Campus is very close to the city centre and also the coach and train station, so commuting is easily accessible and I don't lack a social life. I would love for there to be more student involvement in the course structures due to the new block module teaching format (starting in the 2022-2023 academic year) is intense and sometimes overwhelming, but staff try to communicate with students and make it easier for them to process the different modules despite each one being taught in a 7-week time frame.
The DMU campus is well situated for the city centre, but also has plenty to do on the campus itself. It is compact and located all together making it feel like a campus and easy to get between areas quickly. The course is relatively new so we have been Guinea pigs but they have listened to what we felt could be improved and nice to see it helped improve the course for the next cohorts.
I feel DMU offer great facilities for my learning, the equipment is fantastic and the library is a great space for group work, studying and reading. I don't use the student union for many reasons and find the events lacking for my interests, I am a mature student. The lecturers are brilliant and very supportive, as long as you show willing to participate and try your best. The other students are also great, I have been lucky enough to be with a cohort that are friendly and supportive. Thanks for a great learning experience DMU and I'll be sad to be leaving.
Various places to study, enough support from lecturers and other staff such as career and placement advisors
The buildings are nice to look at and study in. I enjoy the library facilities.

I love the university, it’s a shame it’s not in a slightly nicer area! The student support from most lecturers is brilliant and they are so open to helping in any way they can! I’ve had a few lecturers who aren’t as supportive but overall the teaching standard and support is great especially when covering difficult topics or dealing with personal struggles. The university is constant changing to allow new opportunities and provide more for students especially under the current circumstances.
I am loving my course, the blended learning is very efficient for students who aren’t always in campus or with different circumstances, but the blend allows for students who work better in lecturer theatres to have the opportunity to do so. I personally haven’t done a placement and don’t plan to but there are constant emails about different opportunities in a range of fields which is brilliant. The quality of teaching differed between lecturers and some do lack a little when it comes to answering questions but others go above and beyond and really ensure their students are fully set. In regards to contacting lecturers, I’m yet to have a problem, again, the lecturers are brilliant at offering support and aiding their students when issues arise.
I have a studio as code accommodation and it’s brilliant value for money, the staff are lovely and have lots of events on which allows students (especially freshers) to meet new people, experience different cultures and have fun!
