Our at-a-glance guide to De Montfort University

The De Montfort of today has emerged from the unification of a wide range of specialist institutions and has an impressive way of re-inventing itself. Most recently this has meant allowing the Bedford campus to merge with the University of Luton to create the new University of Bedfordshire, and there is a constant programme of investment and development, making for a dynamic, forward-thinking and sizeable university. The main campus is in Leicester's city centre, with a second - the Charles Frear campus, offering courses in nursing and midwifery - on the outskirts. Leicester is England's 10th largest city, with good transport links and all the facilities you'd expect. It's also brilliantly multicultural: the Diwali celebrations in Leicester are something to be seen.
