Word of warning DMU is terrible im currently on computer science, i know some on hnd comuting, year zero computing, computer games programming and a few from criminology, psychology and sociology.. the view is pretty much the same - it is horrendous, the teaching is so terrible i dno how to explain it. the lecturers dont turn up, when they do they are unprepared and the rooms are not adequate for what they teach you, such as no computers or working internet in a computer lecture. Some rooms are small and you sit there squashed in with 200 people, other rooms dont have working speakers so most people will just here a mutter from anywhere over half way (as in anyone at back wont hear). There are alot of lecturers who cannot speak english and u will find these will be your main source of info for coursework or exam prep labs. They seem to take forever in marking coursework and exams - im still waiting for one of mine from week 8, its now week 20, other people have still not got the one from week 5. The lecturers are extremely arrogant and any students who are failing get personally blamed for it, i have seen many people on anti depressants due to the level of neglect and miss treatment when they ask for help or do not do well in a module due to lack of teaching. You will see classes of 200 people drop to less than 80 within a matter of a couple of months and it will not pick back up, by second year it will drop further (i have been on psychology and criminology course where i took ill near last exams and im now on computer science and its no different). People talk in lecturers alot since they do not have a clue whats going on and give up, people just walk out half way too. First year you will get told it doesnt matter if you understand the content only to find out later on you did need to understand it and are now stuck at a crucial point. The student services will pass you on forever and any special learning needs you have will take forever to get diagnosed or get equipment for, my partner has only just been assessed in week 19, ofc she has already failed 2 bits of coursework and although telling them she had reading problems they said so what bring us proof.. sadly she has now failed. I watched most of my mates go from enthusiastic students to alcoholics, druggies and living on tablets to keep them sane, some also developed eating disorders to try and cope (i came from leicester and went college here so i know alot of them - easily over 100 people i know personally others i have met along the way).
If you have other choices i would seriously recomend you put them first, this is not a whinge but i am now stuck here since i used my false start when i took ill and came back, i have no way of leaving or switching Uni's as the content here if rubbish and no other Uni will accept it and put me onto a second year in there course.
Please do not make the mistakes me and my mates have made and try and get out while you can.
I hope you have backup choices and i hope to god you take them or you will struggle immensly psychologically and mentally, you will struggle and no1 will help you, you will find ways to cope and it will only go downwards, eventually you will want to leave and you cannot. All your friends (or most of them) will see its not gona change and leave or switch early on.
