So far, the course has been very intriguing and I am enjoying it. A variety of different psychology theories and aspects of life are taught, which helps with choosing what to do in the future.

Course overall

It's a great informative course that can help you gain a lot of knowledge and understanding through work and research. Along with that, you get a chance to gain practical knowledge through work experiences. It's a perfect course for an individual who desires to follow a route in teaching/education.

Uni Experience

(5)·By Blessing M·Education / Teacher Training· Jun 2024
I have really enjoyed my time here at university. I made the right decision moving from home and having my own independence. The lifelong friendships I have created here are something I will always cherish. I love my course as well, as it allows me to explore deeply and question the education system in the UK, along with different historical events that have impacted education today and children and families. I would like to become a children and families social worker. I am now living in a studio accommodation and I much prefer it to sharing.

My experience at DMU

(5)·By Jack A·History· Jun 2023
My experience at De Montfort University has been amazing so far. As a history student my lectures are fascinating and intriguing as my studies are in depth and have many field trips to historic places. The campus at DMU is pretty decent as there is a wide variety of stores and the nightclub is amazing on Wednesdays as there is different events every night.

Freshers week was very well organised by the university, and was all planned out to keep you busy having fun all week. Every event I did was very enjoyable, and helped me meet a lot of people. Freshers week was the week I met some of my best mates at uni, and it is a week I will never forget! Was tough after a whole week of drinking though! DMU's accommodation is very good. The one I stopped in had now been refurbished however it was nice, and helped me to meet 9 other people who I am still friends with now. Other accommodations where my mates stopped were very nice too. They are worth what we pay and are all close to campus, which is great, and not a far walk from the city which is always a bonus! The facilities were all very good. It is a modern uni and looks very nice, insider and out. The library is very good and is where I spent most of my time studying with my mates! The lecture theatres and the classrooms are all modern and comfortable to study in! The SU is good fun as well and there are a lot of sports opportunities available for everyone! The course is engaging and has a range of topics for me to study, which is useful seeing as though I'm not fully sure what part of business I want to go in to. The lectures kept me engaged and were very good in helping me so far during my time here. The city life in Leicester is great! There are many great bars and clubs, and when you meet great friends there you can have the night if your life! Some nights out I had were great. Mosh is the best club around, cheap, good fun and was close to campus!

Finance, Graduate

One of the best weeks I had at uni, met most of my best friends that week. Had a fresher's fair, lots of club events etc Stayed at SULETS in the first year at Queen's court. Was affordable and right on campus. Met a lot of great friends in the block. Room was small but had everything I needed. All great. Really liked that the library had a silent room and 3 floors of computers, also 24 hour access meant you could study whenever. Classrooms were fine in my building. Student union was okay but they were doing renovations when I was there so didn't get to see the finished product Had some excellent lecturers on my course. Liked the structure of one lecture and one seminar for each of my modules. Timetables were usually organised well. Took advantage of the additional services like interview help for my placement year in industry and also to secure my graduate job Loved Leicester as a city. Wasn't too big like London but felt like I really explored during my 3 years there. lots of clubs, pubs, shops, restaurants etc. which is perfect for student life and my uni campus was a 10 min walk away from the centre

Law / Legal Studies, Graduate

It was great fun, there was lots of stools which we got to know people and make new friends. We also had the chance to join societies and for and insight of what's it's like to study at dmu It was great. Clean and tidy and the staff were really nice and the other students who were living there too were friendly The library's were very good. There was one main library called kimberlin which was open 24hours and was for everyone. And for law students we also had our own library which was good because resources were more easily accessible. Classrooms were good for the class size and lecture rooms were good. Student union was a great place to meet up friends and relax and just next to it was a spa so good snacks and they did also sell food in student union as well as the food hall which was opposite The course was great because the lecturers were really good at delivering information. They were always there if you had a question. Lectures were also recorded so if you missed anything in your notes you could always find out what it was by listening to the lectures The city life was the best. I come from a small town and to experience being in Leicester was really nice. I'd consider moving there in the future. Everything was easily accessible and very nice food mmm

Biology / Biotechnology, Year 2

As a student who lived away from the university freshers week was hard. However there were lots of accommodating people who I soon became friends with. The UV rave that I attended at king power stadium was incredible, and the bar tour was very messy. The accommodation that most of my friends lived in was lovely. The summit was always clean, although the building work surrounding it wasn't nice. Filbert village was also very spacious and my friends flat always had great things to say about the security One word. AMAZING. I'm so glad I came to DMU as the equipment for my course is state of the art. The food is always well priced and SO tasty. The online and in person library has everything you could need. However sometimes it can be difficult to get hard copies of books The lecturers always respond to emails really quickly. My course isn't very big so you get to know your lectures fairly well. The access to the labs is really essential to the course understanding I grew up around Leicester so for me the night life isn't anything new. However getting to experience it with new people was great fun. The university campus is SO close to the city centre which is perfect

Accounting, Year 3

Freshers week at De Montfort University was very vibrant to say the least. There was always something to do - even if it was something that you wouldn't usually do. Unfortunately - I've never actually lived in DMUs accommodation. However - I know that some have had very pleasant experiences. The facilities are amazing! Although were in a pandemic right now - the library was my go to place to study. Its a very well thought out place - a room and or floor tailored to each and everyone's needs when studying. When comparing my experience to my sibling - who had also studied accounting, I can confidently say that I've had better lecturers who support you throughout your time at dmu. They really do encourage you to think about your future and where life can really take you - with that being said, they also encourage you to take any and every opportunity that comes your way. Again - unfortunately I actually live in the city so life at university hadn't changed dramatically. Although - I was taking more time out to actually enjoy nature and not the city, really and truly explore what the place had to offer.
