DMU Chitter-Chatter: Chip-In and Catch-Up!
Hello
to all of you that have found your way to our Group Discussion Thread!
Here is a space for sharing your thoughts, queries, and hear some experiences about University from our Ambassadors - to help you prepare on your way to beginning your studies
This can be an opportunity to engage with some of our current students, meet other peers applying to DMU & Universities here in the UK, and also if you're unsure about University or applying you can give this a read and chip-in with any questions you might have!
This thread is for those questions that we all have when starting a new adventure or chapter: Having some pre-Uni wobbles? Wondering about what it’s like to actually study your course? Thinking what DMU might be like and how to get the most out of Uni life? How is the teaching? What activities are there to do in Leicester?
This chat is for you! And if you’re new and curious you’re welcome to join too – the more the merrier
If you would prefer, we also have our wonderful student reps on The Ambassador Platform (TAP)! You can use this platform for a more visual insight into a day in the life of a student and see the food posts that always make us hungry
Feel free to follow the link here: Chat with a student (dmu.ac.uk)
Get set, ready, chip-in!

Hey! Hey! Hey! 
I'm Dennis and I am a 3rd year Air Transport Management PhD student. I am from the beautiful twin island Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis which is smack in the middle of the Caribbean Sea. I am currently the president of the DMU Caribbean Society, play American Football, an avid gym goer
and I've been a DMU ambassador for 3 1/2 years . The university journey is quite nerve-racking at first but it's an enjoyable one filled with loads of memories. I look forward to your questions, concerns or even emotional outburst 
about university life. Feel free to chat with me via The Ambassador Platform here.
All the best!

, De Montfort University Rep.Heyyy everybody,
I am Tianna and I am a 3rd Year Psychology Student. I am from a town in Warwickshire so I am not too far away from Leicester but I do live on campus! I am part of the DMU Psychology Society and i really enjoy going to the events on a Wednesday evening. I love reading books, travelling, photography and going to the theatre to watch musical theatre. I started my journey as an ambassador for DMU last year (2022) and I have had the best experience working with a lovely team of people. When I first started University back in 2020 I was a very nervous and shy individual but I have come so far in the past 3 years, I feel as if back then I wouldn't of been confident enough to be part of the ambassador team. I have made so many amazing memories at DMU, one of my highlights has been going to Paris and also meeting lots of lovely new friends therefore you are bound to have a wonderful time at University. I can't wait to answer some of your questions!
Best Wishes,
Tianna
Hi everyone!
I am Ilya. A Cyber Security international student from Belarus!
I moved to the UK to study few years ago and now I live in a student accommodation in a wonderfull city of Leicester! So, if you have any questions about student halls, I will be more than happy to chat with you.
Also, I am an absolute fan of IT. I do enjoy learning about new technologies and currently my specialisation is generative AI and using AI technologies for boosting productivity in the workplace.
I've gone through the process of applying to DMU as an international student, so I know how stressful it might be. If you ever need any support or a helping hand - do reach out to me and I will do my best to provide you as much support as I can
Overall, never hesitate to ask and engage.
Take care,
- Ilya

Hiya everyone! 
My name is Julia, and I am a second-year Psychology student at DMU. I come from Poland, but I moved to the United Kingdom two years ago to continue my higher education and have more developmental opportunities. Apart from studying at De Montfort, I am also a student ambassador and I have recently completed an internship in the Psychology of Language there. I am an enthusiast of being a student as I realised this is a one-of-a-kind experience and the best school of life
Making the most of this time is not my only hobby 
I love reading books and travelling. And that is why I am going on a student exchange to Spain in the next academic year!
Therefore, if you want to know more about being an international student, employment and abroad opportunities at DMU, psychology courses, transition into university, or anything else, do not hesitate to ask me here or use The Ambassador Platform to chat with me!
I am looking forward to hearing from you
Take care,
Julia

Hey Everybody,
I am Emily a Third year student nurse here at DMU, my chosen field of practice is adult nursing. At DMU we have 4 fields of practice within Nursing. They include: Adult, Child, Mental Health and Learning disability. I have loved every second of my studies here at DMU; while nursing is a hard course, you meet amazing friends and lectures which will support you along the journey of becoming a registered nurse! Although the course is a three year programme it feels like I've blinked and I am a third year. So make the most of this fantastic experience
Nursing is built up of 50/50 academic work and placement, so you get to learn the knowledge & then go out on placement to practice everything you have learnt in university. There is always so much support whether you're in uni or on placement. Plus, whilst on placement I have become friends with some amazing people, including students in other years, where we have shared knowledge to progress our learning further.
Apart from Nursing, Iam a student ambassador here at DMU so I get the amazing opportunity to work open days and support students looking to join DMU! I am also massively into music! Concerts are my joy whilst being at DMU & I have been to over 25 concerts and my first year was during a global pandemic - one of my best memories was when me and 3 of my uni friends jumped in the car, planned the night before, to see Ed Sheeran in Cardiff.
If you have any questions regarding DMU, Nursing, student life or anything else please feel free to message and we can support.
All the best
Emily
