Fees and funding 2013

If you’re thinking about coming to De Montfort University (DMU) in 2013, money will be on your mind. The government has significantly cut higher education funding, and because of this, universities have to charge students the full cost of their courses.

There is, however, plenty of funding available to support students with both tuition and living costs. The following pages have everything you need to know about fees and funding here at De Montfort University.
