Rich with history, multiculturalism and diverse heritage, the city is the perfect location for students looking to experience the United Kingdom at its most vibrant.

It could be said to be the perfect size – big, diverse and multicultural enough to amaze, yet compact, friendly and safe enough for students to feel at home. It has been named in the top three UK student cities by NatWest’s 2020 Student Living Index only behind Manchester and Cambridge.

Leicester is famous for its diversity with the most diverse street in England. According to researchers at the London School of Economics, Narborough Road – the mile-long gateway to the city centre from the West End – has 222 shop units with owners coming from 22 countries from around the world.

The city also knows how to have a good time. It hosts dozens of festivals throughout the year including the largest Diwali celebrations outside of India (the Hindu and Sikh Festival of Light) and The Caribbean Carnival, said to be the second biggest in the UK after only the massive Notting Hill Carnival in London.

Leicester also has great transport links. High-speed trains, buses and park-and-ride services provide reliable connections across the city as well as to other big cities in the Midlands and also London.

History of DMU

Named for the esteemed Earl of Leicester, Simon de Montfort, De Montfort University’s history dates back to 1870 when the Leicester School of Art was founded.

Since then, the university has evolved through many incarnations including the Leicester College of Art and Technology and Leicester Polytechnic, which officially became De Montfort University on June 26, 1992, when it was awarded university status.

Two years later DMU Lincoln and DMU Bedford campuses were founded with the merger of Lincolnshire College of Art and Design, Lincolnshire College of Agriculture and Horticulture, and Bedford College of Higher Education.

The following year DMU merged with Charles Frears School of Nursing and Midwifery.

In 2006 the Bedford campus merged with the University of Luton to become the University of Bedfordshire.

In 2012 Queen Elizabeth II graced the DMU campus with her presence to kick off Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee Tour.
