History

Origins

De Montfort University, which is named after Simon de Montfort who was Earl of Leicester in the 13th century, is one of two universities situated in the city of Leicester. From the Chamber of the United States House of Representatives Simon V de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester (1208 – August 4, 1265) was the principal leader of the baronial opposition to King Henry III of England. ... (12th century - 13th century - 14th century - other centuries) As a means of recording the passage of time, the 13th century was that century which lasted from 1201 to 1300. ... Leicester city centre, looking towards the Clock Tower Leicester (pronounced ) is the largest city and unitary authority in the English East Midlands. ...


Prior to 1992, that which is now De Montfort University was known as Leicester Polytechnic. It had been created in 1969 through the amalgamation of Leicester College of Technology and Leicester College of Art. The Polytechnic was established as a corporation in 1989.


The plan was to make DMU a multi-campus Collegiate University of the entire East Midlands and as such the University swiftly acquired other campuses based in Bedford, Luton, Lincoln, Caythorpe and Milton Keynes. The Milton Keynes campus had actually been built in 1991 and officially opened by Queen Elizabeth in 1992, prior to the official foundation of DMU as a New University. Departments at Milton Keynes included computing, built environment and business. DMU conducted a series of expansionist mergers with the Bedford College of Higher Education and with the Lincoln and Caythorpe Colleges in 1994 and then with the Charles Frears College of Nursing and Midwifery, based in Leicester, in 1995. Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor; born 21 April 1926) is Queen of sixteen sovereign states, holding each crown and title equally. ... In the United Kingdom, the term New University has two meanings regarding British universities. ...


In the mid-1990s, DMU attracted students using a memorable TV and cinema advert that reputedly cost £500k featuring a killer whale chasing some seals on a beach. The tag line "Reserve your Seat of Learning Here" was read by Angus Deayton, implying that students should avoid letting life "chew them up" and improve their job prospects with a degree. Binomial name Orcinus orca Linnaeus, 1758 Orca range (in blue) The Orca or Killer Whale (Orcinus orca) is the largest species of the oceanic dolphin family (Delphinidae). ... Gordon Angus Deayton (born January 6, 1956) is an English comic actor and television presenter. ...


Restructuring

In 2001 the Board of Governors adopted a new strategy to do 'fewer things in fewer places' and reduce the number of outlying campuses[3]. DMU consolidated around its Leicester campus, with its satellite sites closed, or transferred to other institutions.

  • The former Lincolnshire College of Art and Design and the Lincolnshire College of Agriculture, based in Lincoln and Caythorpe respectively, were merged with the University of Lincolnshire and Humberside to form the new University of Lincoln in 2001[4].
  • Following the relocation to Leicester of many of the courses offered in Milton Keynes, the Kents Hill campus was considered economically unviable and was closed in 2003. The premises were sold to the Open University, with part of the campus now housing Middleton Combined School[5].
  • The last remaining campus at Bedford, housing the Faculty of Education and Contemporary Studies , was merged with the University of Luton to become the University of Bedfordshire in 2006[6].
