International Programs – De Montfort University

About

De Montfort University, in Leicester, England, was established in 1992 through the merger of Leicester College of Technology and Leicester College of Art. It now has two campuses serving over 20,000 students. Having been occupied for over 2,000 years, first by the Celts, then by the Romans, Leicester is one of the oldest cities in England and has a population of 300,000, and many museums and parklands.

You can find more information on their website, De Montfort University, and their Incoming Exchange Student webpage.

Accommodation

Students studying at DMU have the choice of 12 residence halls, all of which are operated independently of the university and all of which can be applied for online. Prices range from £97 to £172 per week. Students will be responsible for arranging for their own meal plans. All international students living in the DMU halls will be provided with a bedding pack (containing pillows, sheets and a duvet), so you wouldn’t need to bring bedding with you.

Visa

No visa is required for students spending one semester (less than 6 months) at DMU. Students wishing to spend more than six months in the UK will need to apply for a student visa. See the Apply for a UK visa website for more information about the UK visa process.
