Communications - About us

The reputation of the university is vital to its continued success and the communications team plays an essential role enhancing and protecting DMU’s reputation through effective internal and external communications.

As well as ensuring that our students and staff know about the great things happening at the university, the team’s role is to handle the DMU’s media relations – producing press releases, pitching the expertise of university staff to the media, dealing with incoming enquiries and monitoring the university’s image. The team also manages DMU’s social media activities.

The communications team is passionate about communicating the university’s recent achievements and its exciting and ambitious plans for the future.
