We are committed to ensuring that all students can access international experiences during their time here at DMU, whether it’s a short-term academically focused trip, volunteering experience or studying year abroad.
Our experiences are not just about travelling abroad. We also offer internationally-themed campus-based and online opportunities to allow students that cannot or do not want to travel overseas the chance to take part.
