What makes us different
Our goal is to help every student reach their goal ensuring they have the best learning experience possible. To achieve that, we introduced a new way of learning, Education 2030, where students will study one module at a time, providing students with more opportunities to develop wider skills and build a stronger learning community.
Our award-winning careers service, DMU Works, provides students with guaranteed work experience opportunities and lifelong support for all DMU alumni. University is a huge investment, and our careers commitment to you is not simply to help you secure a job but to equip you with the skills to thrive, adapt and innovate in our ever-changing world.
Based in Leicester, DMU is in a diverse and vibrant city, home to major employers such as Caterpillar UK, IBM, Next and PepsiCo. For the second year in a row, DMU has ranked in the top 10 British universities with the most student and graduate start-ups (HESA).
