Descrizione
Our £136 million campus is an integral part of the vibrant city of Leicester, which has been named as one of the top 10 cities in which to live and work in the UK (Good Growth for Cities Index 2015). Leicester is in the centre of England and only 1 hour away from London by train.
DMU is home to more than 20,000 students who study over 400 courses, more than 160 of which are professionally accredited by bodies such as ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants), RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) and Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) meaning students can gain exemptions from professional qualifications after graduation. All De Montfort University (DMU) students belong to one of our four faculties.
• The Faculty of Arts, Design and Humanities
• The Faculty of Business and Law
• The Faculty of Health and Life Sciences
• The Faculty of Technology
Our students are supported by 2,700 staff which includesa range of academics that are ex-industry professionals. We have the third highest number of National Teaching Fellows of any UK Higher Education Institution (Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2015-16), and we are ranked as a top institution for graduate employability. We recently gained Gold in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), a government endorsed award that recognises high quality teaching and opportunities for career enhancement. 96.7% of DMU graduates from summer 2016 are in work or further study after graduating (DLHE 2015-16).

time, a Government-backed guide rewards and recognises the enormous value that universities can
bring to the lives of their students through excellent teaching, outstanding experiences and great
employment opportunities.
