Student Reviews
Blessing in disguise
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
Even though the pandemic disrupted the day-to-day university experience, I genuinely feel that the dedication and extra effort the lecturers put in made up for it. In my personal experience, they were more accessible, engaging and helpful throughout this challenging time. The lecture material was delivered more efficiently during remote learning compared to in person...

Short review of De Montfort University
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
There are many aspects to consider. Academically I was a little bit disappointed as I expected a more challenging degree whereas DMU accommodated its level to the lower performing students. However, I made life-long friends and experienced stuff I never imagined. The university gave me the opportunity to try sports and cultures I never considered possible for me.
