Programmes increasingly include an option to study overseas, often through European Community schemes for student exchange.
Many programmes offer a foreign language study option.
DMU has special arrangements with more than 60 universities and colleges in 40 countries for staff and student exchanges and research collaboration. These arrangements have developed over several years and provide a base for international contracting. Arrangements with other institutions mean that some De Montfort University programmes are delivered overseas, such as in European nations, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore. In addition the university runs business schools in South Africa and India. University research and consultancy programmes take place in a number of countries throughout the world.
