Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend De Montfort University to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to De Montfort University
I’d say don’t miss out on the opportunity. I transferred from another university to DMU and absolutely don’t regret it! They have a very welcoming culture, and push for career opportunities for students. Staff go above and beyond to ensure that Students attain that experience before going off into the real world. DMU provides many opportunities and their support does just stop once you graduate. I highly recommend
