De Montfort University (DMU) is a vibrant and ambitious university in the heart of Leicester, committed to transforming lives through education, research, and innovation. Guided by our Empowering University strategy, we aim to enable students, staff and partners to achieve their full potential and to make a positive difference in their communities and industries.

We offer a wide portfolio of undergraduate, postgraduate, professional and technical qualifications, shaped in collaboration with employers to meet real-world skills needs. DMU has pioneered a block-teaching model that allows students to focus on one module at a time, supporting deeper learning and enabling flexible routes into and through higher education. This approach is designed to fit around students’ complex lives while enhancing their employability, wellbeing and sense of belonging.

Our commitment to lifelong learning is global in outlook and civic in spirit. DMU works in partnership with local and regional employers to drive skills development, while our international network spans campuses in Dubai, Cambodia and Kazakhstan, alongside collaborations across Europe, Asia and Africa. We are home to seven Research and Innovation Institutes and serve as the United Nations Academic Impact global hub for Sustainable Development Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities - the only UK university to hold this designation.

Through innovation in delivery, global partnerships and a strong focus on graduate outcomes, DMU is helping to widen participation, raise aspirations, and equip learners of all ages with the skills to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
