DMU is an ambitious, globally minded and culturally rich university with a strong commitment to the public good. We strive to maintain a stimulating and inclusive environment that champions difference and celebrates success.

We’re asking ourselves some fundamental but hugely important and far-reaching questions at DMU, such as, what will be the education of the future that we want to provide? Who are our students, and how do we genuinely remove barriers to study?
