De Montfort University launches Fashion Communication & Styling (BA Hons) Programme in its Dubai campus this October, to create industry-ready graduates
One of the top UK government officials in Dubai has welcomed De Montfort University Leicester’s plans to open a new campus in the country later this year.
Simon Penney, the UK’s Consul General for Dubai and the northern emirates, said he was pleased DMU would offer academic excellence from DMU Dubai, the university’s new branch campus, set to open in Dubai Academic International City in September.
Along with recognizing the new campus, Penney also acknowledged DMU’s upcoming role at Expo 2020, being held over six months in Dubai from this October.
The UK pavilion at Expo 2020 is being operated by the government’s Department of International Trade (DIT) and DMU is working closely with the team as one of the pavilion’s only official founding partners.
Over the many weeks of the festival, DMU will exhibit much of its leading research in areas such as sustainable fashion, smart reuse of waste plastics and creative applications for artificial intelligence.
