Contact us

The Department of Academic Quality (DAQ) provides a central point of contact on all matters relating to academic quality at DMU. We work in partnership with colleagues across the university, and in particular with our Faculty Associate Professors (Quality). We also work closely with the De Montfort Students' Union and support student representatives on our academic quality committees, validation panels and review events. We support our collaborative partners, both in the UK and overseas, as well as working with many external quality related organisations.  

The Department of Academic Quality is part of the Directorate of Registry Services. We are based on the first floor of Gateway House.
