Student Reviews
Excellent
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
DMU has been an excellent university for someone coming from the small islands like myself. Leicester is such a small and comforting city and the university is so bright and colourful it makes you feel at home. They always help and support you. They did have slow email / phone replies, and I did have issues with my if card
My 4 year experience at DMU
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
A very positive experience with lectures, seminars and workshops. I have also had a great academic relationship with my supervisor throughout the course of my dissertation and research works. But for the current pandemic, the general campus atmosphere would have been remarkably good.
The flexes and flaws...
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
DMU is a good place to study at, as it offers a huge variety of courses and welcomes students warmly and make it easy for everyone to adjust. However, I feel it doesn't have a huge involvement of students in the co-curricular area and I feel DMU should work on the same.
