DMU Global is an international experience programme for De Montfort University (Leicester) students, which aims to enrich studies, broaden cultural horizons and develop key skills valued by employers. Through DMU Global, we offer a wide range of exciting overseas, on-campus and virtual international experiences. Since the launch of the programme in 2014, over 25,000 students have travelled overseas with us to more than 70 different countries!

About DMU Global

We recognise the value and transformative nature of international experiences, but also understand there are various barriers to participation. Therefore, we have created a programme that provides financial and practical support for all students. Our aim is for all DMU students to be able to access our international opportunities whether they are overseas, on-campus or virtual.

Overseas trips

By offering shorter duration overseas trips we are able to offer more DMU students a meaningful international experience. Opportunities include academic-led trips that are delivered by teaching staff and are designed to enhance your studies. Past trips have included Contour Fashion students visiting New York and Audiology students giving free hearing tests to people in India. We also offer a range of extra-curricular volunteering and employability opportunities. Previous experiences have included an employability trip to Vietnam, and students supporting voluntary projects in Berlin.

Student exchange

Undergraduate students can choose to study or work abroad for a year as part of their degree. With over 60 exchange partnerships with universities across Europe, North America and Asia and funding provided to all participants, the year abroad experience gives you the chance to live in a new country and experience a different culture. All students that successfully complete a year abroad also receive formal recognition as part of their degree title to help them stand out in the job market.

On-campus and virtual experiences

We offer a comprehensive range of campus-based and virtual international experiences for students, including the chance to learn six different languages. These opportunities help students learn about different cultures, explore global topics and develop a range of transferable skills. We aim to make all of these experiences low cost to ensure that they are accessible to all.
