De Montfort University (DMU) Reviews

Great library, nice staff and many societies

Great university campus as well as great teaching. Students union is always a good time especially if you’re in a society. wifi around campus is perfect with no issues so far.

Great university with great modern campus

the campus is so modern! we do have a more traditional building (Hawthorne) but its perfect. you have to cross a wonderful bridge over a a canal to get into the campus, it has swans. staff go above and beyond to help you and the student union (SU) are very useful, there's always free events going on which I love. we are a 2 min walk away from the city centre and I love how everything is in one place. My twin sister goes to UOL and unlike DMU it is one of those city universities meaning that the buildings are spread across the city unlike emu which is a campus uni so its all in one place. This means she sometimes has to take a bus to get to lectures in different buildings, emu feels like a real community.

It’s alright the university experience has been alright

Very welcoming and diverse and very educational

It’s a good university however it’s cos of Covid you do feel a disconnect from learning

You will enjoy DMU, you won’t regret it

Amazing facilities at the Vijay Patel building, I really enjoy getting my work done here

Great university. Amazing support from the health and life sciences faculty.

It was a very basic experience, unless you are doing business, dance, or some form of design you aren't really provided with much.

Lovely campus and facilities with many different societies to join!

Dmu is quite good university in term of facilities but academia isn't quite good and tutor are not quite helpful

Good university, no complaints really.

Brilliant uni, great night life. The support is immense especially disability support. Can’t fault the uni.

Decent wifi, the university is nice to look at. Good food, but for students it is overpriced. The library is good, has a lot of books. Most of the tutors are good, others are completely useless.

Never choose this university it was really waste no support from anyone, no proper education and guidance, no job opportunities, no value for certificate, no professor has knowledge, no laptops for students, no proper labs. Everything fake only you will pay money and return nothing by wasting time and carrier. In Leicester university of Leicester is good one, dmu ranks last and useless. University professors don't put mark for own work, they have a group who takes money and do the assignment and project, for which will get mark. But it was waste of money and no meaning of education, no further carrier to students. The university here supports lot of fraud groups to earn money and they will get commission amount. Here loss is only for students

This review is a bit unique since COVID has substantially lowered my ability to interact with the university, the campus, it's clubs and activities. The campus is large and it's not very easy to find where your course building is situated until the university tells you, I haven't joined any clubs or societies so I can't speak on them. Same could be said for the Students Union and Careers Service. The only thing I did was purchase university clothes. The t-shirts are good quality, but the print is slowly being removed with each was, but the hoodies are nice. The university Wi-Fi is excellent, but that should be par for the course with any university.

I started university in 2018, and I have had so much help and I had enjoyed so much at university. It helped me grow into a better person, and I love my course.

Dmu provided so much support throughout my time

Good school overall. You get the help you need.

Great uni, unfortunately unable to experience in 2nd year due to COVID but first year was good

Great university that is socially inclusive and there are many fantastic activities to do.

Loved the campus. Of course, covid dampened the spirit. But DMU communications were great and kept getting updates regularly. Nice experience overall.

the campus is really nice and so far the course and the professors are great.

Really good university, lovely staff,

I think corona has affected certain facilities

Havent had much inperson interaction with the university due to covid so i cant say, but from what i have seen the facilities are really good

The universities gorgeous campus and updated and well maintained facilities are one of the main aspects that drew me to DMU and ot hasn't failed to impress. Although unfortunately onyl assigned to onr building away from the main campus (bede island) this space still give us access to wonderful, industry standard quipment, usually quiet spaces and security and safety of being out of public way. The outdoor portion of campus and the cafe/food court are lovely spaces to hang out and eat and feel safe and well looked after with security/staff on hand everywhere.

I think it is a great university however I wish we had a partial refund for the Covid-19 situation as online university is poor compared to real lectures and there is a huge price difference in the two experiences

Overall my experience has been good at the university, I have made loads of friends and feel that the lecturers are friendly. During Covid the level of support wasn't how I expected and could have been improved and some of my modules were Terribly taught but I cannot put the full blame on the university as they did try there hardest during a difficult time. Would definitely recommend this university to younger people

DMU has been helpful with their students this year

I feel as though I have chosen a really good uni. Met amazing people so far. Cant say much due to being a first year during covid.

Great experience with dmu and enjoyed being a student in it

Best university that could ever imagine.

It is very modern and has a lot of facilities to use that really help a lot

i haven’t been on campus much so i cannot give a honest review

Been great, lovely people, meet loads of people

Nice location and campus I love my art building

The university provides support in many areas however during coronavirus its difficult to utilise them.

Dmu has a very spacious beautiful campus and the facilities they provided before COVID was great. However since COVID happened DMU hasn’t really been great at resolving student issues with teaching and hopefully they’ll listen to student reps more as they are the voice of their cohorts

Its hard to write a review about these things when its been corona but I'm sure they're great when everything opens

My experience at this univeristy has been positive.

With the academic year being predominantly online, the few lessons I attende on campus were more than satisfactory. The facilities had all the required material to enhance my learning experience. The Student Union kept students involved in online activities and that says a lot about the effort the put into making the student experience worth it. During the year, the university held a few online career talks and meetings to help point us, the students, into the right career path. Overall, with how challenging the academic year has been, I believe the university was able to succeed in making my year a great one!

Great facilities for creative subjects. Super accessible

I haven’t really been able to make use of the university as much as i’d like to but from what I have seen it’s been okay

I enjoy going to de Montfort uni, the staff are great and helpful, they care a lot about the students abs the buildings are all nice and accessible.

DMU has a rang of societies and many facilities on campus. It is very close to the city centre and everything is walking distance.

The best university for my course

Very organised, lovely staff and facility

Helpful, understanding about your situation

DMU is a great place to make new friends. The staff members are helpful and friendly

I’ve really enjoyed my experience at DMU

Lovely place, would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to study In Leicester

Had such a good time here at DMU. Lots to do and lots of societies you can join

Great University,friendly staff

As a first year student at DMU I feel that Merlin Heights is the best option considering the price and the distance from the university, it also has very good facilites such as the Sky lounge to chill out and watch films and the games room being my favourite because of the pool table. The rooms and kitchens are perfect for a first year student too as they are nice and spacious and cosy with a nice modern touch. The staff are also very helpful and polite and make sure your questions are always answered.

My first year experience at dmu has been very good despite the pandemic and not being able to go in for in person seminars for the majority of the year. Facilities such as the library are good.

DMU has many study spaces throughout the campus which have been very helpful

Good university staff are amazing

Very conveniently located which is good because all aspects of uni life are fulfilled in the area

Haven’t experienced much because of Covid, but so far the school looks to be a nice place with good learning facilities.

Great support for students especially for internationals

Brilliant uni for all 3 years of studying here.

With DMU situated in the leicester town centre, accessibility is easy between campus and town centre.

Enjoyed my first year but second year being completely online is a shame.

Its a good university with city campus and amazing facilities.

Good university helpful teachers

Great campus with many facilities and easily accessible to all

Very nice experience overall, welcoony staff and a lot of accessible resources

DMU is a well rounded university with loads of clubs and extra curriculum activities available, but the support they provided during the coronavirus pandemic was not acceptable

Good university. Excellent facilities and overall great experience.

Dmu is such a diverse place with people from different backgrounds! They have a lot to offer such as global trips and societies to join

Good university with good facilities

Tutors are all amazing and really helpful

Fantastic faculty and really modern, clean buildings. Most of the staff really do care

I study online. But my fee is the same like study in uni

Amazing for student satisfaction!!

Great university overall. With lot of supports available.

The university is very organised. They have very good communication. DMU’s online system is also good.

very good university, great staff & very helpful! student union advice email can be very hard to get a response from but there are other ways of contacting them. clubs & societies have a wide range of options unfortunately due to covid many of them couldn't run properly this year.

With covid19 affecting the whole experience with campus life, there is not much to say. But with the few weeks, from the beginning of the school year, it wasn't so bad but clearly, COVID19 has robbed me of my DeMontfort University school and campus life experience. Hope we all come out of this pandemic stronger and happier.

Lovely experience, staff members really friendly and kind

I was really surprised with the DMU facilities and all the support provided to the students. I highly recommend it to all students.

I believe i made the right choice in choosing DMU however, due to the current climate of the pandemic, facilities have understandably been closed. It’s a shame, but i do hope in the near future i am able to gain a full experience of what this university has to offer.

Its a great university with many opportunities even during times like this. Every lecturer is helpful and is there for you when you need them

great uni to go to for socials and studying product design

It's a good uni but we've had no support during the pandemic which is really bad. The teachers haven't been helpful and some have even given us wrong information for assignments and when given a bad grade I was given next to no feedback to help improve

University is good, covid has restricted alot however before that it was very fun a variety of clubs are open.

DMU is such a supportive university, with plenty of opportunities

A great university with good facilities for all courses

I enjoyed my time at university and the campus was perfect. It’s in a great location and my teachers were friendly and supportive. I also loved my dmu global trip to Canada which was my highlight of university.

DMU has a great diverse range of societies, and students so you can always learn something new

Uni is alright you know, I really like the campus. Very nice and modern

Great place, really good teachers and people

It’s great, really great place

Very fine for all courses, near to city centre, staffs are very Friendly and they are providing good facilities

Good educational facilities with lots of activities.

Its a very beautiful university with some beautifully built buildings and facilities for students around the campus. Staffs are friendly and helpful.

Very good university and good for international

Dmu seem to spend more on marketing than they do in teaching. Most of our equipment in CEM was either obsolote or unreliable. It made study very stressful as you would struggle to find information on the equipment you were using, and wouldn't always know if it would work when you needed it.

Coming to DMU was the best decision I have made! I can’t find any faults! The facilities are amazing and the accommodation I can’t speak enough of! I have made friends for life through societies and got endless support throughout my studies from the university! Especially during the current pandemic the tutors have been working extra hard to ensure we are getting the best learning and experience we possibly can!

middle of a pandemic right now so very limited experiences

FROM A PARENT> Students in their final year have been hit hard by the pandemic and treated appallingly by this university. Those whose courses don't translate easily to online learning, like my daughter, had barely any contact from tutors, despite chasing them up relentlessly, emails and calls went unanswered, Which is unforgivable. I'm assuming they were still being paid?? The year simply fizzled out.This was the end to all those years of education. The culmination of so much dedication. For what? Finishing an art degree in your bedroom on your own laptop. No 'industry grade software' here! But no refunds!! Courses ended in March with no studio facilities or access to professional tech for art students in their final year, plus no degree shows, no networking opportunities, no industry links..none of the shiny, lovely things they wave at students on open days. Shameful really. But they're just students, which means absolutely nothing in the UK. SAVE YOUR MONEY

Graphic Design and Illustration course is led by tutors who are heavily biased and bully students that they dislike. It creates a course culture of enabling bad behaviour, and no one is ever held to account for harassment. The tutors pick one or two students whose work they like, and put all the time and opportunities into those few who fit their house style. God forbid you produce work slightly different to those around you; prepare for the tutors to try and make you fit their mould and produce work exactly like everyone else. Poor, poor mental health care from the uni as a result. Avoid.

All in all a very good university and depending on which department you are placed in the staff are extremely friendly and helpful

Tried to get comms over postragrd courses, no reply or acknowldgement and sent the following complaint by email: Dear DMU, I have to say I am quite appalled at the lack of communication despite filling in several eforms, email correspondence and even an application for postgraduate study. I have had no feedback at all, and the postgrad open day is today. Just give me reasons why I should even contemplate study with you now, if this is the poor standard set? Kind regards

Great campus vibe with loads of study areas as well as areas to socialise. Inclusive atmosphere and lecturers and other members of staff are kind and helpful.

Nice place! Lectures are great and lots of support.

As a parent of a child who attended this university and dropped out at the end of first year, I recommend that, if you care about your child’s mental health, avoid this university. Everything looks good on paper but they are hopeless at helping students with mental health issues. At the end of what would have been my child’s 2nd year they did not even know that my child had dropped out! All they seem to care about is getting as many students as possible to enrol, therefore, as much income as possible.

como serán las cases de la universidad durante el primer semestre

DMU is a very diverse university, ranging from the subjects taught to the people on campus - I've interacted with a lot of people on campus ranging from various walks of life to technical strengths and all of them have one thing in common; doing the absolute best they can in their studies and personal time. All of my lecturers are superb at what they teach and will almost move heaven and earth to assist you - even if it's not directly related to your course. The campus is clean and modern, and the facilities are some of the best when comparing to other universities I've seen (such as the 24/7/365 library). Being a computing student, I found that there were a lack of societies for people like me (apart from course-related societies such as the DMU Hackers, Robotics Club etc.). Another issue I found is that the careers service isn't always great at best, but I have a feeling that this may change over time. All in all, DMU is an excellent university and I'm glad that I had picked it.

Good courses, friendly staff. Amazing societies everyone was friendly. The library has great facilities as well as learning services which are really helpful

I made an enquiry CIPD (level 7) accredited Master’s program in late 2019. Last date of application was May 2020. Due to Covid related over-occupation, I dropped the idea of taking a course this year. One fine day, DMU franchisee contacted me and insisted I submit a late application if I'm still interested. I asked them a lot of pre-application questions, including the expected travel in 2nd Semester/Q1 of 2020. We had 6-7 email exchanges and they also called 2-3 times. I felt very motivated, changed my mind and I submitted a late application. Till date my application has not been replied, despite reminders. Few days back I got an email with access info to DMU library, and yesterday I got invitation to a webinar - the webinar is scheduled for 29 June and invitation comes on 2 July. I'm ignoring the recent emails (it could be spam). However, I'm disappointed with the process I went through with DMU contacts for the admission.

I am doing a part time GDL here distance learning over two years. It is good value for money and the study weekends are very good. The quality of the teaching is very high as is the study materials. There are some IT problems but they worked hard to resolve them. In relation to COVID19 the university I feel has been fair to everyone allowing online assessment which I have just completed this week. Given I have health issues, my health and well being is very important. I think the university have been fair and to be honest why would you want to sue them as others have said on here because it's a Force Majeure it's not their fault. 5 Star teaching. It may not be London or hip. It may not be a crème de la crème university but they have a fab law team here.

DMU has great facilities for design courses, the building is really nice. the workshop there is too small for the size of the university though. But their lecturers are very helpful

COVID 19 handled bad by lecturers with strikes how unfortunate our fees are not valued.

everything is perfect ，tutors are very passionate and friendly

Good university with great facilities, teaching is good. Nothing was really poor. Overall happy experience.

I was apprehensive about attending DMU as it was chosen through clearing for me , however my experience at the university has been pleasant so far.

Very good uni with great support

Really good university with good facilities. Offers load of support if you need it.

I'm suing De Montfort University for selling me a Mickey Mouse postgraduate Course not accredited not recognised as a teaching qualification. Comments welcome in Twitter syaa02

Its an amazing university in every aspect! I love the campus and my lecturers.

Love De Montfort! Super cultural and always has new experiences on offer

My uni is great. Offers great teaching, services and opportunities! The teaching and studying spaces are good, too.

Amazing so far! Apart from 3 weeks of lecturer strikes that held back out learning, everything has been good

Good uni not some work still need to be done but yh

They refused to give part-refunds after the coronovirus. Selfish, frustrating and unwilling to compromise. Everyone is struggling with the virus and they're not accomodating whatsoever.

Friendly staffs and beautiful campus.

Nice campus, everything is very close and together, Also relatively close to the city centre.

The university isn’t bad it’s just the accommodation (Ben Russell) the worst!

Love my open campus with beautiful architecture.

Great university facilities at hand

University is the best. Theres so much to offer. The staff are nice and friendly.

Great uni with broad range of facilities and staff which are passionate about their work

Good university and very diverse

WiFi is a bit picky at times, sometimes doesn't work. The physical aspect of DMU is great, but it doesn't help that they keep cutting funding to courses that aren't math/science/English because, as stereotypical views go, creative courses don't bring in money, which couldn't be more wrong. Get the funding aspect right and DMU would be a great university.

Not too bad, some areas need upgrading

While I'm not able to compare this University to others, I will say it is the best possible choice I could've made by coming here. I have enjoyed almost every minute of being here and I know that if I ever come to an issue I will be able to rely on staff and students to aid me.

Great experience, friendly atmosphere, lovely campus.

Upon coming to dmu, I have enjoyed my time, especially with getting involved with the DMU Jazz Band and being part of the committee, helping run the band and being able to play music as well.

Great experience and facilities. Could have better clubs and societies

Great WiFi lecturers are very knowledgeable and helpful

DMU is an excellent university with incredible teachers and lecturers. They treat all students fairly and equally and are very helpful when you feel the stress of studying. There are plenty of study spaces and lots of communities to join. It is a bit of a pain to connect to their internet but I'm not sure if it's them or my laptop (Or that I'm just useless with computers!). Overall DMU is a great establishment and would recommend to anyone that wishes to go into higher education.

Hardly get told of any social spaces or activities available

Unorganised university which is more interested on making things look pretty rather than improving services. I have had botched assessments, been assigned the wrong modules, to name the lease.

I’m not enjoying myself at all

Pretty good uni lecturers are helpful

There's many societies to join and if you can't find what you're looking for you can create your own! The only improvement I'd make is varying the employers brought in for careers fairs as when I went most of the employers were looking for law or finance students for internships/apprenticeships which isn't great if you study something else

Love the campus and the facilities available to get on with my various assignments. Most lecturers are friendly and keep lecture interesting. Don't personally use the union as I find drinks to be expensive when they do events and music to be generic r n b Lots of societies available

Everything I expected from the university experience just do not feel their is enough support for students

Not bad wouldn't exactly shout about it

1234567891011121413151617181920

The uni is very modern and has very good facilities.

the mentors and welfare have been great. However the wait times are really long and make it hard to manage work and mental health when there is a 14week wait for counciling. the course itself the facilities are really good and the workshops are well organised with knowledgeable staff

University has been a great experience and I have enjoyed my course as well as the social aspect.

Great campus and facilities accessible more often than needed. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Enjoying the uni so far, good social life, course is very interesting and the staff are very good.

DMU is an amazing university. The best staff and courses!

De Montfort is very good, if you want a studio. Do yourself a favour and go to code. Same rooms, cheaper and has better facilities

is a very good experience really enjoy it, but the student union is there but no actual use the su club isn't the best. there is a job centre for part-time or placement, but the centre isn't the best as it didn't really give a clear direction to what and how the centre work

i like it, there is nothing that i do not like at the moment,

Very good! I’m enjoying my time there.

The campus has all the facilities you'll ever need, from art stores, dining halls, to a 24hr Library plenty of computers and graphic tablets to use. There are a range of clubs and societies to choose. The SU always keep you up to date with the university, as well as the city itself. There is always help when you need it, especially when it comes to your career. The Wifi is very good, you have access to it throughout the whole campus; including gyms and youth centres.

Can’t get onto the WiFi and it’s slow, limited amount of societies there is nothing art based there for art and design students. Facilities are good for the building I study in. Students union can be helpful but in my class they aren’t, they don’t want to do or say anything in case of upsetting lecturers. Careers service from what I’ve experienced is great, there is a whole department for every course to go to and use, careers fairs, guidance they couldn’t be more helpful.

I don't attend any of the societies to know what they are like. The Student Union are hard to get ahold of, and don't seem to to anything. They have no sense of presence (not necessarily a bad thing, I hate unions) Everything else is decent.

I am an alumnus and i suggest, Never go for this university.

I entered the university as a student from a underrepresented and disadvantaged background, and I believe the university needs to develop an approach for identifying and reporting bullying. Some lecturers have been known to disregard or distort the negative impact of harmful behaviour, and blame or dehumanize the victim -- I was excluded from participating in the university as a whole during the first day.

I've never used the SU or careers service so can't comment on those. The clubs and societies don't feel very inclusive to new people (or at least the ones I tried), but that's a bit beyond the universities control really. Campus is nice, internat is incredible (hitting about 350mbps in the games labs)

Amazing universe, there are so many services and opportunities!

Good university but they were in the mid of building new areas which effected studying. Good course and student union was good, if not sticky underfoot.

Well specified uni, but more needs to be done to support students academically.

It’s really really really really good I recommend it to everyone I do!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic uni. Loved every minute and if I am ever in Leicester I always return and it feels like home.

Not good if u r a brown or black skin.Nobody takes intesrest.worst University pl don't go n fall in a mess

The reception open my parcel without permission today, which really annoyed me

If you need a degree I guess you could go here wouldn’t advise it though lol

As an adult autistic student in was encouraged by the reviews. However I have had to take the finance department to the 3rd stage of a complaint just to get an correct invoice. I have spent more time in the last year trying to get help from their 'disabilities ' service then I have on the actual work I have ment to be doing. And they dont even take the complaints seriously. Its sickening way to treat autistic people. Avoid.

the big tv in the middle is very cool

The university has great facilities and the tutors are very supportive and flexible with you r final project. The course content is very varied and covers all topics in psychology.

the campus itself is always very clean and looks good

Nice campus, enjoyed spend afternoon in cafe doing works.

lovely campus, everyone is freindly

Don't get too hung up on university rankings because they really don't matter. As long as it's good for your course then it's good. There's a thing called DMU Global where you get the chance to experience international opportunities and learn new languages. 24 hour library which is so so useful. You can also hire laptops to use if you don't have your own. There's a cafe and vending machines in the library in case you get hungry. Standard Eduroam wifi which is good, you may have to search for how to log in and stuff though. There are lots of sports clubs and societies which you will learn more about during the freshers fair. Overall it's not a bad uni.

Amazing university, providing best facilities for students all over the world

Everyone here is very open and friendly. There's always an approachable person to help fix whatever problem you have.
