The Arts, Design and Humanities Faculty is seeking students to become "Brand Ambassadors". These will be enthusiastic, self-starting individuals with a passion for MTI/MTP, our Faculty and DMU. They will work on a range of tasks, from face to face meet'n'greet to networking on DMU's social media sites to peer to peer telemarketing, so they need to enjoy talking to a wide variety of people across a number of platforms.

Year 3 Students — National Student Survey

Year three students have received email invitations to complete the National Student Survey (NSS). The questions ask about your experience of teaching and learning at DMU and look at teaching on your course, assessment and feedback, learning resources, the DSU and much more. The NSS results are central to helping us identify areas of strength and areas of improvement. Further, when students are applying to universities, web sites allow them to directly compare NSS scores of different programmes. So the NSS results are very important to the university and to the MTI/MTP programmes. Please take a few minutes and complete the survey. Thanks!   [BB 24.1]
