With nearly 23,000 students, De Montfort University (DMU) is a lively and dynamic place to study, where the latest facilities are combined with top lecturers and excellent industry links. DMU was recently ranked in the top three of all modern universities by the Sunday Times University Guide.

The strong partnerships with industry and the public sector complement and inform the academic courses DMU offers. DMU students benefit from the best work placement initiatives, ensuring graduates have the practical skills and experience required by today's employers. More than 170 of DMU's courses are accredited by professional statutory and regulatory bodies.

DMU is one of the most successful post-1992 universities in terms of research performance and funding. Nearly half of the submitted research was rated 'internationally excellent' or 'world-leading' by the Government's Research Assessment Exercise (2008). Between 1998 and 2008 DMU was awarded more grants by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council than any other modern university.

Over the last ten years DMU has invested £186.5 million into their cutting-edge Campus. The library, with its dedicated Learning Zones and multimedia areas, is open 24-hours a day, so you can study when it suits you. The award winning Campus Centre is the social hub of the university and home to the Students' Union.

Leicester is a vibrant, creative city which likes to celebrate with a year-long programme of festivals and events covering religious occasions to sporting fixtures. Three billion pounds of regeneration has created a modern shopping centre, world-class theatre and much more, giving DMU students the perfect mix of culture and entertainment.

With a strong reputation for offering high-quality, professional courses and the continuous investment being made to the city and Campus, studying at DMU will enhance your student experience and give you the best start to your career.
