The University of Leeds is a truly international university. We have links with over 600 institutions world-wide and up to 5,000 international students study with us each year.
Our open and friendly academic environment at the School of Performance and Cultural Industries attracts people from a wide variety of backgrounds and disciplines. We believe this diversity adds a richness to our School that expands our students' knowledge and understanding, and introduces them to a panorama of new ideas and perspectives. The University of Leeds is part of the Russell Group of research-led universities, and our staff members engage in world-class research and cutting-edge professional practice.
