De Montfort University 21st May 2020
College Status: Face to Face Classes Suspended, Online Classes Continue. Admission for June (Online) and September 2020 is open.
All face-to-face lectures, seminars and tutorials – are suspended at De Montfort University. Classes are being delivered online. The campus is also closed apart from essential services. In light of the ongoing outbreak, DMU has already begun the planning process for what the next academic year might look like. Central to their approach has been the need to follow Government guidance and the health, safety and wellbeing of students and staff.
Firstly, DMU is going to be open to welcome new and returning students in the next academic year, with term starting on the planned date – Monday 5 October. DMU International College will be providing flexibility to students such as later enrollment dates, being able to start courses online and also an option to join in November.
Secondly, given the highly likely need for some kind of social distancing, large-scale lectures will be online for the next academic year. DMU is continually reviewing what the evolving restrictions will mean for smaller-scale and more interactive teaching – including face-to-face workshops, seminars, tutorials, lab work, practice-based teaching events, etc – and will provide an update once they are able to.
