We work closely with industry to design engaging courses that will give you the skills and experience to accelerate your career and get ahead in the competitive job market.
We’ll support you to become what employers need: work-ready graduates with professional experience and industry skills. Your career will be in focus from day one, with support from our award-winning Careers Team, UK and overseas placements, internships, targeted training, coaching and research opportunities as part of DMU life and study.
Our commitment to helping students achieve their career goals was recognised in the 2024 Uni Compare rankings where students rated us the 16th best university for employability. There’s lifelong support, too, through our alumni network, DMUforLife.
We offer undergraduate and postgraduate courses (our postgraduate courses were rated as 8th best overall by students in the 2024 WhatUni Student Choice Awards), foundation courses, full-time and part-time courses, and Learning Beyond Registration modules among others.
Most courses are taught using block teaching - our innovative approach to learning where you study one module at a time. You’ll benefit from regular assessments - rather than lots of exams at the end of the year - and a simple timetable that allows you to engage with your subject while enjoying other aspects of university life such as sports, societies and meeting friends. By studying with the same coursemates and tutor for each block, you’ll build friendships and a sense of belonging.
A top 30 university as voted by students in the WhatUni Student Choice Awards 2024, we are also rated a 5-star ‘excellent’ institution by QS, a world leader in evaluating higher education performance. The rating is an internationally-recognised mark of quality in which education experts rate universities across a broad range of criteria including teaching and facilities. DMU joins 15 other universities in the UK and just over 100 universities worldwide in being granted the 5-star accolade.
