• DMU currently has 2 operational campuses and 1 yet-to-be operational campus, so 3 campuses in total. This list is below:
  • De Montfort University, Leicester Campus: Leicester, England, UK. This is the main campus.

  • Gym
  • Heated swimming pool
  • Canteen
  • Convenience store
  • Fast food restaurants

• There are plenty of clubs to join for a student. The student can enrol themselves by visiting the student Union website through their dashboard and show interest in joining any club or society. You can even create your own club/society by having at least 6 members willing to join the club/society. For example: There's an India society that you can join as an Indian and take part in planning festive events for not just the community but for all DMU students to attend. Apart from this, DMU always celebrated not just western festivals but also festivals popularly celebrated on the east side of the world. For example, DMU will have Holi and Diwali celebrations. The tickets sell out quickly so my suggestion is to buy them as soon as they're released.
• Other activities you can take part in are some interesting workshops and short courses. They offer a variety of workshops and short-term courses either for free or for a very low fee. I personally took part in the startup workshop, which was free to participate in, and took a short-term Japanese course, which lasted for 12 weeks and cost only £25 for the entire course.
   

• Tuition fee: £17,000
• Breakdown of the fee payment:
  • Paid £8,500 (50% of £17,000) after receiving an unconditional offer letter.
  • Paid the rest of the £8,500 after the course start date in 3 equal installments. Each installment was 2 months apart from the other. For example: Paid £2,833 in February, April, and May.
• Monthly Expenses:
  • Hostel/Student Accommodation: £10,000 per year (approx.): The student accommodation fee is NOT included in the overall fee for the course. This is a separate expense that was borne by me. The fee for the student accommodation that I paid was on the higher side. You can get an independent/shared room for much less.
  • Groceries: I spent £500-£800 monthly on groceries (can even go till £1,000). This can vary according to a person's lifestyle preferences. My grocery expenses were on the higher side but normally it would be around £500 for most people.
  • Mobile plans: I paid £12 per month for 60 GB internet, unlimited calls, and unlimited social media surfing (I bought a VOXI sim). Honestly, 60 GB of internet is a lot. You won't be needing that much data from your mobile carrier since everywhere you go you'll find free wifi. So you can buy a cheaper plan as well.
  • Shopping/Eating out: Eating at restaurants/fast food chains will cost you between £15 and £50 per person depending on the restaurant. There are many cheap eat-out options available in or near Leicester city center.
• Suggestions on managing expenses:
  • You can also save some money by using the Hoppin Bus service, which goes around Leicester City Centre free of charge during office hours on weekdays. Walking around the city is also easy, as Leicester is not a big city like Manchester, plus the weather conditions support walking around the city.
  • Always ask for student discounts at stores (and carry your student ID with you at all times in order to avail any available offers). For instance: My salon, in Leicester city centre, offered 10% student discounts, but you had to show them your student id to avail the offer.

All the different religious communitues used to celebrate theur festivals in community parks and halls.

• My course was for 15 months. My course MBA didn't had any semesters, so I paid the full amount. They made me pay 11,000 pounds in tbe beginning and the remaining 6000 pounds after 3 months. Global MBA is for 15 months and then you get 4 months to get a job. You can get different payment plans also and I don't have much information about it.

I chose this country since I did not require a Visa here. The reason I chose this University because it was the highest rated in the shortlist I had since I just had 2 years of work experience, I was limited to options. Overall it was a good experience since it was a very new experience, just had issues with getting a job.

I did not experience too much of the campus life as it was a master's degree. However, the facilities are really good and there are activities happening every now and then with the number of different clubs and societies.

This University ticked all the boxes that I had in mind for a great place to do career advancement for the next two years. One of the many things I like about this university is the enormous-beautiful-widespread campus, Its global rankings, the courses they offered, their UK rankings , employment opportunities after graduation, and finally a good life off campus as well.

Dmu's campus is widespread with beautiful and new buildings for different faculty. modern infrastructure that would attract everyone's attraction and extracurricular activities that would help in the overall development of a student. the campus provides all kinds of support from beautifully designed library to auditoriums , outdoor activities like swimming , gym, variety of social clubs to join, dramas, sports etc etc. The list goes on and one.

Course curriculum had specific topics that interested me. Was research based.

Campus was nice. Lot of events kept taking place. Participation was online due to the pandemic.

It's very modern and has great initiatives in place. The infrastructure is incredibly new and looks good. The library is extensive and has vast collections of books, archives, newspapers and DVDs. The City of Leicester is also very cultural and so DMU's central location thrusts you in a vibrant array of culture that you can fully immerse and indulge in from food to music and crafts.

Course fees are 9250 a year payable from loans by most students. The accommodation also incurs charges which for me works out as 90 per week and is paid in several lump sums, the most recent one having been 1350.
