At De Montfort University (DMU), research is applied to drive progress across society, industry, and public life. Our mission is to empower researchers from all backgrounds to contribute to work that is inclusive, impactful, and aligned with the biggest challenges facing the UK and the world.
We’re proud to be one of the UK’s most diverse research communities, with a strong track record in areas like sustainability, social justice, ethical AI, health, and design. Our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion runs through everything we do because we know diverse perspectives lead to better research outcomes.
Our work contributes directly to the UK Industrial Strategy, including priorities like AI, clean growth, and people-focused health innovation. We’re also the UK lead university for the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, a role that reflects our strong civic mission and international outlook.
Whether you’re joining us on a funded programme or developing your own self-directed project, you’ll find flexible pathways, tailored development, and a doctoral culture that values your voice. At DMU, you’ll join a community where your research can make a real difference and where you’ll be supported to grow as both a thinker and a changemaker.
