About De Montfort University

De Montfort University offers its students and graduates an exceptional programme of career support and industry experience that delivers outstanding results. 

At De Montfort University we are focused on helping our students become adaptable for a fast-changing world. A DMU degree means getting access to experiences that will take you to new places, introduce you to people in successful careers and open up new horizons. 

Our teaching and research are closely connected with the world outside the university. Your course will give you the chance to meet people from relevant organisations, take part in projects with business and develop your own ideas for innovations in the way we live and work, whatever your academic interests. 

Alongside your course, we offer a huge co-curricular offer of workshops, boot camps, training, and professional insights. In 2019 over 7,000 students took part in these events, boosting their preparation for graduate success. International students who come to DMU are all offered expert advice and support by our dedicated DMU Works team. We are here to ensure students maximize their potential and can help you gain exposure to the UK employment market.
