I understand how important this time is for you. Choosing De Montfort
University (DMU) means you’ll live, learn and grow in an environment
alive with opportunity. We define success as giving you a great student
experience, so that you can shape the life you want.
We do things our own way, nurturing confident,
independent spirits fit for the turbulent times ahead. It
works: in the 2015 Times and Sunday Times league table,
DMU was the most improved university in the UK. The
2015 Complete University Guide put DMU in the top 40
universities for student experience.
Our outstanding teaching, ground-breaking research
and travel programmes mean that you’ll learn to succeed,
assembling the skills, experience and attitude that let you
achieve whatever you choose to.
DMU is one of the top 50 universities in the country when
it comes to graduates finding jobs*. Our alumni have
designed for Beyoncé, are scientists in NHS pathology
centres, take top prizes at European video game festivals
and win prestigious legal scholarships. They go on to work
for the likes of NASA, IBM, Jaguar Land Rover, Microsoft,
the BBC, BMW, L’Oréal and Gucci, among others.
Industry partnerships mean you’ll be working with leading
international businesses while you study. Internships,
volunteering and placements have put our graduates
on the road to work with legal firms, sports brands and
Premier League football clubs.
DMU’s spirit of exploring new paths means graduates
have also found dream roles away from big-name brands.
Some 96.6 per cent of DMU postgraduates and 93.8 per
cent of DMU undergraduates are in full-time employment
or further education within six months of completing their
course*. DMU fosters an entrepreneurial spirit; we’re one
of Britain’s top 20 universities for graduate start-ups**.
The majority of DMU’s research activity is world-leading
or internationally excellent. We aim to make people’s
lives better and this approach informs the work of our 50
specialist research groups and institutes.
The same attitude drives our work for the public good and
support for DMU’s local community. As a student, you can
be part of DMU’s Square Mile project and make a positive

impact on others. Square Mile won a Guardian University
Award for its community contribution.
We are a university with a global outlook, shaping true
world citizens. Students from 130 countries are part
of the DMU family and 155 international partnerships
provide exciting openings around the world. Student
experience with an international dimension is what our
sector-leading #DMUglobal programme is all about.
We’ve committed £2 million so 11,000 of you can enjoy
a meaningful international experience. Recent returnees
had life-changing times in Brazil, China and The Gambia –
experiences that add distinctiveness to a CV and ensure
you make your mark in the world.
Choosing DMU now also means being part of our
most exciting chapter so far. Our £136 million campus
transformation is creating the modern, inspiring
environment you demand. Courses begin to move into our
newest building during 2015.
Our campus is in the centre of Leicester, one of the UK’s
most vibrant, forward-looking multicultural cities with a
place at the heart of English history. Leicester is confident
and colourful – big enough to offer new experiences, yet
small enough to quickly call home.
Our long and successful association with the Sunwah
Foundation will have a lasting legacy through the creation
of a dynamic new business school, built on our reputation
for fresh, creative thinking and entrepreneurship which
will challenge the conventions of traditional, established
business education.
Where you study next will shape the rest of your life. DMU
has everything in place to help you become your very
best. There are exciting times ahead. I hope we will share
them together.

RESTAURANTS AND CAFES HISTORY

Renowned for serving some of the best curries in the

Golden Mile – offers an unrivalled range of Indian cuisine.
Elsewhere, Leicester’s international cuisine can be
sampled at award-winning Chutney Ivy and Thai Five, the
stylish eateries in St Peter’s Square at Highcross, as well
as affordable restaurants on every street corner. Leicester
also has one of the biggest covered markets in Europe
selling fresh produce , as well as a number of specialty
supermarkets selling food items from around the world,
allowing you to make your favourite dishes whenever you
miss the taste of home.
Rich in history, Leicester always has a story to tell. Most
recently it grabbed headlines around the world when
archaeologists unearthed the remains of the long-dead
King Richard III. Now, a new museum a stone’s throw from
the DMU campus tells his 500-year tale.
SHOPPING
For shoppers, Leicester ticks all the boxes; the
£350 million Highcross shopping centre is a delight for
those in search of big brand names while Leicester Lanes’
eclectic collection of independent shops and boutiques
satisfy even the most ardent bargain hunter.

the working world.

education that enables you to reach
your full potential, maximise your
strengths and help you manage
your weaknesses.
Innovation and creativity are key.
Great minds are constantly refining
ways to produce and deliver existing
goods and services, or develop
new products and services, or
indeed create new industries.
Preliminary research shows how vital
entrepreneurial thinking is in driving
national prosperity.

This course allows you to specialise

and ambitious design solutions,
develop innovative visual research
and personal interpretation to build

textile skills for a career in textiles for
fashion, interior or lifestyle.

create unique responses to market-
relevant briefs, developing exciting
and dynamic design collections for a
variety of uses.
Alongside a work placement year,
you will benefit from visiting guest
lecturers, take part in competitions,
complete industry briefs, develop
branding through promotional
packages, and create your own
personal website; all enhancing
your employability.
Learning and teaching
There is a strong emphasis on skill-
based learning through workshops
and technical support. You will also
receive design advice by lecturers
who are active in their subject
area, ensuring your support is
contemporary and relevant.
You will be taught through design
lectures, one-to-one tutorials,
practical workshops and studio work.
You will be assessed on design
collections, promotional packages
and verbal presentations.
