Block teaching

At DMU, it’s our goal to help every student reach their goal, and you deserve a positive teaching and learning experience. With this in mind, the majority of our undergraduate and postgraduate students will get to enjoy an innovative approach to learning, known as ‘Education 2030’ using block teaching.* This allows you to focus on one subject at a time, instead of several at once, with more regular assessments and a better study‑life balance. DMU is one of the few universities in the country to offer the block teaching method.

With block teaching, not only will you have more time to learn your subject in depth, but you will also benefit from a simple timetable with space to enjoy all that university life has to offer such as sports, societies, meeting friends and discovering your new city.

*Of course, one size doesn’t fit all, and there will be variations based on the professional requirements of your undergraduate or postgraduate course. Rest assured you will still benefit from the same excellent experience, supportive environment, and friendships which last well beyond your time on campus – making university your new beginning.
