A deep dive into results shows that DGHE scored especially well against sector averages on the areas that we know set us apart from other institutions, such as our supportive environment, study-life balance and listening to our students.

Study-Life Balance

At DGHE, you can study just twice a week at our City of London campus, then balance study with your other commitments through the rest of the week. Our courses are designed to guide students in developing career-oriented knowledge and skills. Survey results suggest that our approach is the right balance of directed and independent student for our students.

“To what extent does your course have the right balance of directed and independent study?”
