Life at DeMontfort University

I applied only for De Montfort University and was admitted and completed my Master's in time without any backlogs. I had many friends of mine studying in this university, which made it easy for me to get admission to this university without any hurdles. I had a smooth visa interview process, and I also got my college ID card on my 1st day of college. Overall, a wonderful experience abroad. I chose this college as I had many of my friends already studying there. The admission process includes applying for university, providing SOP and LOR, taking up CAS interview, getting a Conditional offer letter, paying around £3000 to get an unconditional offer letter, and finally getting admitted to college. The eligibility criteria include students passing the GRE, IELTS or passing their English in 12th with a minimum 60 marks and also completing their Bachelor’s degree in English medium. Overall, a smooth admission process. I applied for the January intake. I started my admission process in the month of October 2019. I got my conditional offer letter within a week of applying, then I had to arrange the funds to get the unconditional offer letter to proceed with the visa interview. This took some time ,and once I got my unconditional offer letter, I got an appointment for a visa interview and completed it on time. So the total time would take around 1-2 months to get the visa and travel to the UK....Read More

I applied for the following universities: De Montfort University – Admitted, Leeds University – Admitted, East London University – Admitted, King's College London – Rejected, Kingston College – Rejected I received confirmed admission from DeMontfort university, leeds, London. Yes, Kings college London and Kingston College I was not accepted for both the colleges, as I didn’t have work experience, which was required for the course I applied for. Even though I received offers from several universities, I chose De Montfort University because it offered better academic quality, industry-focused teaching and student communities. First I took IELTS exam and then I applied through an agency to DMU, selected my preferred course and then uploaded the required document transcripts, statement of purpose, reference letter and IELTS result document after that, once the initial review is done conditional offer is sent, and then once i pay the required tuition fee depositc my place in the course is secured and the university issue CAS letter Once I received it, I applied for my tier 4 student visa and submitted biometric data and waited for approval. Meanwhile, I arranged my accommodation, and then I received my visa. After reaching the UK, i collected BRP from the post office, got my student ID and attended the classes. Eligibility criteria – IELTS 6.5 and above Overall experience was good; the only issue I had was with the waiting time, other than that, it was smooth, the staff were helpful and onboarding was easy. I applied for the September intake and I really wanted to get an MBA from abroad, as I’ve heard from many that we get more exposure, can learn from people from different countries and different cultural backgrounds, and also get better practical experience. I started my application process in March – i gave my ielts first and then applied for the college in april and then I received my conditional offer letter in may and then I received my cas in July...Read More

I applied to the following universities: Nottingham Trent University: Shortlisted Leeds Beckett University - Shortlisted De Montfort University - Admitted Received admission confirmation from De Montfort University. I did not receive any rejection from the universities I applied to in the UK. Usually, the reason for rejection for most international students is: Low IELTS score, inability to pay the 50% fee for admission, and inability to provide or incomplete documents requested by the university for admission. I chose DMU over other universities because of the curriculum of my course (Global MBA), location, and discount on fees being offered. Admission process: Conditional Offer: Submitted all my necessary documents to DMU to get shortlisted and receive a conditional offer letter. Documents include: Transcripts for 10th, 12th and Bachelors degree, IELTS result, Passport copy, Resume, Personal Statement, 2 letters of recommendations. Unconditional offer letter: Once the conditional offer was received, I had a few criteria to fulfil before receiving the final CAS letter from DMU. The criteria was: Pay the minimum fee for the course (usually 50% of the entire fee), clear the CAS interview, fulfill Financial Requirements and submit these documents (Balance maintenance letter and account statement from bank), and submit the Tuberculosis Certificate. CAS letter: The CAS letter is the final letter to be received by DMU. This letter officially indicates that the university has secured your seat and admitted you. The CAS letter is important to obtain your student visa process. The eligibility criteria were: Minimum 2 years of work experience is required. Minimum 6.5 overall IELTS score. Minimum 60% in the English language in class 12th. The overall admission experience was great and smooth! An experience I would like to share is where I was offered the conditional offer letter by DMU in early 2022, but due to personal reasons I could not accept the offer at that point and I wanted to defer my offer to next year. I wrote an email to DMU admission's team about my situation and requested them to defer the offer. Without any hesitation, they deferred my offer to next year. They understood my situation, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I applied to the January intake. There is no specific reason for applying for the Jan intake. When I was collecting documents to submit to the universities for offer letters, at that time the Jan intake was the closest. Admission process timeline: 1st week of May 2022: Submitted all my documents to receive a conditional offer letter. 3rd week of May 2022: I got the conditional offer letter from DMU. Then I submitted all the documents requested by DMU in order to obtain an unconditional offer letter. 2nd week of June 2022: Once the documents were verified and accepted by DMU, they offered me the unconditional offer letter. Now I had to obtain the CAS letter from DMU, which had its own requirements. August 2022: I submitted the 50% fees to DMU for my course, after which DMU scheduled my CAS interview. Last week of August 2022: My CAS interview was conducted. 2nd week of October 2022: I received my CAS interview results. 3rd week of October 2022: I got my CAS letter. I also applied for the student visa appointment in the same week. 1st week of November 2022: My student visa appointment was completed. 2nd week of November 2022: I got my student visa for the UK.  ...Read More

I just applied to DMU and I got in. This was an integrated programme offered by Daly college- a very prestigious school in India. They launched college programmes in collaboration with De Montfort University Leicester. and I got in through that programme to pursue bachelors in arts in business studies. It was a great immersive experience for me to get to learn in a very dynamic and moving environment, getting hands on experience of the real corporate and business world though very practical case studies and course design. I chose DMU and this particular course because it best suited with my long term goals and plans . As someone coming from a business family, business always intrigued me and I wanted to formally pursue business as a subject and DMU was providing just that.

I applied for 5 Universities in UK. They all were based in big cities: 1. DeMontfort University in which I got admission. I had to wait for 1 month for the approval and went through 2 interviews to get shortlisted. 2. University of Essex - I applied for it before DeMonfort University but did not receive any replies from them. 3. University of East London - I got offer letter from them but the rankings were not that great so I didn't move ahead. 4. University of West Minster - This was my dream university and I got the interview call but it was too late, I had already paid my fees by that time. 5. University of Durham- It was a very small town and I thought I won't be able to explore much if I join it at that point of time. I chose DeMontfort as the ranking of DeMontfort University was better than other options I had. The infra was amazing. They have all the latest tech in the University. The faculty were very professional and experienced. The place had a lot of Indian students which I thought was great. The admission process was also very smooth and the recruiter were very transparent about the career opportunities. I went for winter intake which starts in January. I took admission in January because I wanted to complete 3 years of work experience before leaving my job and start my Master's. The admission process took around 3 months to complete which included my documentation, proposal, approvals, interviews and results. I started in September which was late already and I got approval in mid January....Read More

I only applied to De Montfort University, Leicester and got admitted to it. I got into the college through a partnership from The Vedica Scholars Programme which is a certification programme for management and leadership. According to the exchange program, my credits from Vedica got transferred to De Montfort University and I finally received the Global MBA degree when all of my credits were cleared. I did not apply to any other colleges. As mentioned above, I did not apply to any other colleges. I only applied to De Montfort University and got admitted to that. For my acceptance, I had to provide them with all the required documents like my educational certificates, Statement of Purpose, Bank account maintenance documents etc along with the documents from my fellowship program through which I got into DMU. I did not appear for any tests specifically. The overall admission experience was quite tedious as the administrative processes were very slow. I received my CAS Letter so late that I got late to apply for my Visa and had to spent a hefty amount of money on priority visa and immediate flight tickets so that I could join classes on time. I applied to the Jan 2023 intake. I had completed almost 2 years of work, and was ready to move into a new phase by pursuing a course and upskilling to venture into new opportunities. The admission process took almost 3 months: Oct 2022 - I submitted all the documents....Read More
