De Montfort University (DMU) in Leicester has a large and growing international student community, particularly in Business, Computing, and Law. If you’re studying there, here’s a practical breakdown of how assignments are assessed and where students most often benefit from extra feedback.
What DMU markers tend to look for
DMU’s assessment style generally rewards clear, well-organised argument over broad coverage — markers consistently note that assignments trying to include too much information without a clear structure tend to underperform compared to more focused, better-organised work covering slightly less ground. In Computing modules, technical documentation and justification of design choices are assessed as heavily as the functionality itself.
Common areas students ask for feedback on
- Assignment structure and organisation — clear signposting and logical flow between sections, especially for longer reports.
- Referencing consistency — Harvard is standard across most schools, with careful attention needed on in-text citation formatting specifically.
- Technical documentation for Computing modules — explaining design decisions clearly, not just describing the finished system.
- Dissertation proposals and structure — getting the research question and structure right early, before significant work goes into the wrong direction.
What kind of support actually helps
At DMU, a structural read that checks organisation and flow — not just content — tends to catch the issues that cost the most marks, particularly on longer assignments and reports. That’s worth doing before your final submission, with enough time to actually restructure if needed.
