The campus is friendly and easy to get around. There are lots of facilities where you can study, meet up with friends and have fun. The careers services are constantly emailing about opportunities and are easy to find. The university isn’t overbearing and they want you to do well without making it a experience full of pressure, which I like. It makes you want to do well for yourself and not for their status or for league table results. Its a relaxed environment where you want to learn and they also provide A LOT of help & support.

The campus is very welcoming and allows students to be able to mix across different courses unlike other unis where the buildings are not on one campus. This allows convenience facilities to all be nearby. The access to city centre is also fantastic with it being a 10 minute walk allowing students to go out for lunch even if the lunch break is short.

Campus is great, nicely sized and in a great location. Facilities are pretty modern and the library is open 24/7. Is lacking on-site sports facilities though, however, most are located within a 5 minute walking distance. On-site squash or near squash facilities would be better than having to walk 25-30 mins to the other side of Leicester to use the community courts. The campus is also used as a walk-way for the public, not inherently an issue but can mean that the campus is busier than it should be at peak times. Can't really speak about the SU as I am not particularly involved in anything like that, I'm assuming it's okay... The leture theatres are pretty good too, a little bit small and the acoustics aren't great but there are a great deal of them, coupled with the library the learning facilities are pretty good for an ex-polytech. Can't speak about the career services either as I've never had to use them. Given the recent news regarding success of DMU alumni getting good placements and careers after uni I'm assuming they must be good. As an organisation, it's pretty good. It promotes diversity and equality, however, is a little restrictive on free-speach (with regards to voicing slightly conservative opinions, not to be mistaken with hate-speech) as with all universities nowadays. Something which is a tad regrettable.

Very good facilities with a good range of teachers, there is always room for improvement. More areas for work and studying I do feel is required, however this university is on the right direction

Always given support and loads of societies. Campus is spaced out and there is a lot of facilities like the library and gym which are used by many students. Many courses have a placement year which allow many students to widen their chances of getting jobs after uni.

I think it's a really good uni. I've been studying here for 2 years now and this university offers plenty of support to get you going even through tough times. They are very efficient with blackboard. The library is super supportive, you can attend workshops for extra help. DMU global helped me to take on Spanish as an extra curricular and they have beginniner, post beginner and advanced levels. You can also take on German, Chinese Mandarin... there are limitless opportunities at DMU if I went on it would be endless.

A fantastic Uni. Very multicultural with the option to travel to other countries to aid development. Great placement program although you have to pay for the placement year. Need more lecturers to students and attention to the students could be better due to large capacity. Still a great uni and community.

The university on a whole is great, with incredible facilities that will equip you with the tools you need to succeed. However organisation of courses could be better.

Generally the campus is great and very aesthetic, often alot of student sales on vintage clothes and art pieces with the campus too which is fantastic. It is usually kept very clean as well. Some buildings are more outdated then others and it shows, especially when you attend lectures in multiple different theatres. The facilities are all generally fantastic, especially the library. Studying a joint honors is particularly rewarding too as it means I can enjoy both History and Journalism without getting overloaded with work from one subject. The student union is generally quite good despite a few recent controversies. The campus is also extremely diverse and it is great to see, and everybody is treated fairly regardless of sex, gender or ethnicity. Finally, the generally university experience has been very rewarding to attend DMU.

The campus is very beautiful, nice layout and just massive overall with different fields of study. I study Biomedical Science and the course itself for me is very interesting but the lecturers themselves are mostly friendly and conducts their lectures very well. My overall experience of university has been fun and interesting and yes there has been a few struggles here and there as people tend to either study away from home or are international students so your lifestyle will have to adjust but it's worth it.

The facilities are really good as they are very close together. The campus is a good size and the food village has decent food. We also have a subway on site which is handy. There's loads of toilets located everywhere incase you need it when coming in and out of back to back lectures. The organisation is fab as they organise abroad trips to improve your career prospects! It's amazing. Only thing I find negative is that sometimes our lectures are scattered in different places which can be stressful!

I love going to Dmu they are nice and helpful and they provide you with all of the support that you need. The variety of course modules are very intersting and intreeging and they make you feel welcome by the largely spread diversity across the university with students and lecturers from all over the world. I would definetly recommend people to go to De Montfort University as it is an amazing experience.

After starting university in September 2018, De Montfort university has been interesting! Due to a 'new system' disorganisation caused chaos this year, with some students not having their timetable sorted out until week 5 (that I know of). However, despite this, so far DMU have given me amazing support and the course I am studying has met my expectations. I don't have a module handbook for one of my modules, which is annoying, but I have for the other 3. The campus is incredible, with facilities beyond expectations. The lecture halls are large and there's always a seat available. Socially, there are lots of clubs and societies to Join. The university gives outstanding support in terms of opportunities to develop yourself ready for employability, such as the DMU global trips and career advice activities.

Excellent university with all the facilities you could possibly need shops on campus which is good and lots of areas for students to go to just do work. Lots of opportunities available to enhance university life.

It's hard to say... I think that there were many great opportunities in terms of employability and I enjoyed some of the modules. I cannot compare to other universities so it's hard to say whether it was better, worse, good, bad? Mental health is pretty neglected at all unis, as far as I've seen the research, so maybe it's not DMU that recommends apps for people who lost a will to move on with their life. 2nd year, comparing to 1st is a shock. Like... buckle up bucko, because it's going to be a wild ride. However, it seems that university is listening to most of it and tries to change things people are unhappy about. So, I personally didn't enjoy my time at university, but I do think that DMU is a good option if you want to enhance your employability, travel the world for cheap (DMU Global is great) and all other elements depend on your personality and so many things. It's impossible to generalise.

I am a third year architecture student at Leicester school of architecture in DMU. There are many advantages and disadvantages of this university. 1. The facilities are amazing, especially for an art student, the workshops are three years old and most of the time all the materials are free or really cheap. Including laser cutting and 3D printing. 2. The campus is very welcoming, clean and everything is closed by 3. The location of the university is amazing, is next to the city centre (10 mins walk). As well as the city, is big enough in order to have everything but small enough in order to be friendly. 4. The staff is most of the times amazing, from library security to personal tutors. Every person of the staff is fighting so you can have the best experience and knowledge. 5. Your opinion matters, when you claim something is wrong, most likely it changes. For example in my first year printing was costly, now a A4 size is £0.01. 6. The most important! The traveling the university provides. I've been to Abu Dhabi-Dubai, Hong Kong, Berlin and I'll be in New York in less than a month! I'm so grateful for these opportunities that this uni gave me. Moreover, there are disadvantages too. 1. It's a pretty unorganised university but every year they become better. 2. Only the library is open 24/7 In conclusion, the benefits are more and if I have to choose again this university I will do it!

DMU has a nice atmosphere and welcoming. This is the first time I have felt a little more comfortable and can come out of my shell a bit prior to previous colleges, high schools and primary schools I went to really affected my self esteem, confidence, concentration and somewhat my education. I am studying Biomedical Science a very intense course and has some enjoyable elements to it. I do find my course interesting and lecturers are approachable.

The university itself is beautiful with a real mix of modern and old buildings with each building having a different appearance on both the inside and out. The staff are very supportive with so many different extra curricular activities to participate in. Overall a really good university

Campus is great and modern, although all that money could've been spent on getting quality lecturers. DMU Global is great!

DMU is well located in the city of Leicester. The staff are very approachable and professional. In the school of nursing and midwifery which I am enrolled in, the lecturers are eager to help and advise us student where they can. The university prides itself on listening to students and I believe this is a strong point of DMU and certainly an advantage DMU has over University of Leicester (UOL). Students have asked for sessions to be re-timetabled, courses to be re-structured and exams to be re-scheduled and often this happens. Simple things like the costs of a DBS application are all covered by the university. Whereas, my colleagues at UOL have to pay for this themselves. DMU have a superior employability service with mentoring schemes,placements in industry, Erasmus programmes and more. The negatives of DMU is the expense of the food on campus. It's over £5 for a meal in the food village and students can invariably Stafford this.

De Montfort is an amazing university. The Campus is small and easy to navigate around. Each lecture building is very unique and some still contain old historic monuments.
