12 13 LEICESTER

With a population of more than 300,000, Leicester is the largest city in the East Midlands and the 10th largest in the UK. Our students tell us it’s ‘the perfect size’ — big and historic enough to impress, yet compact and friendly enough to call home.

14 We’re proud to be part of life in our home city of Leicester. A place that never stops surprising, it’s colourful, confident, happy, proudly diverse and thriving on recent success. We think you’ll love being part of it too.

What’s on? You’ll never be short of things to do. Leicester is big on shopping, sport, music, theatre, film, comedy and culture, much of it happening in the city centre, just minutes from DMU’s campus. Leicester’s £350 million Highcross shopping centre has big-brand excitement while the established mix of independent and one-off boutiques in The Lanes adds something different. There’s a vibrant music scene with sounds from every genre, and film lovers can shift between arthouse and blockbuster showings. We have Curve Theatre or Leicester Haymarket Theatre and lots of small venues perfect for comedy. Quirky juice and coffee shops or real-ale pubs and bars offer perfect places to catch up with friends, while Leicester’s amazing array of cuisines means you can sample food from around the world at venues from funky out-of-the-way joints to high-end restaurants. Leicester lays claim to its own ‘Golden Mile’, a stretch of road close to the city centre renowned for its authentic Indian restaurants, sari shops and jewellers.

Good sport With one of the most successful women’s hockey clubs in the UK, a basketball club that’s riding high, and a football club that surprised the world when the team became the Premier League champions in 2016, Leicester has built a reputation as a city that loves its sports. Home to Leicester City, 10-time rugby union champions Leicester Tigers, leading national basketball side Leicester Riders, and Leicestershire County Cricket Club (all partners of DMU), sports fans will be spoiled for choice.

Everything you need – at a price that’s right When it comes to affordability, Leicester’s great for student essentials, such as food, rent and bills, and was judged the third most affordable city for students in the NatWest Student Living Index 2018. It has also been named one of the UK’s top 10 cities in which to live and work (Good Growth for Cities Index 2018).

Well connected Leicester has been named the best place in the country for tech startups, according to a Tech Nation report, and named the second best place in the UK to start a business in a StartUp Britain report. The city is also a great place for job creation, with IBM creating 300 jobs following a move to the city. Leicester’s central location means easy connections to UK cities and airports, so you’re never too far from friends and family. In fact, we’re officially the best-connected English city after London and Manchester, based on government data showing how quickly people can get to schools, doctors, hospitals and shops on foot or by bus.
