There are some amazing spaces to work from on campus, not least in the library. One of the hidden gems is this Make Space, in which students can work on their own projects👌 #dmu #demontfortuniversity

Students often tell us they assume that our support around freelancing, self employment and entrepreneurship is only for business students. Wrong! We're here to support any student, from any course in any faculty at DMU. We support our graduates too! #dmu #demontfortuniversity
