DMU Global Online Learning

Introduction

DMU Global Online Learning is a new initiative that offers a range of exciting, virtual international experiences for DMU students, without the need to travel overseas.

Our aim is to make the DMU Global Online Learning experiences as accessible and varied as possible so that all students can participate. We have developed a range of experiences that require different levels of engagement from just a couple of hours to sustained learning over a number of weeks. Find out more by watching our video…
