At Leeds, it’s the student experience that sets us apart.  

Your learning experience

From day one, we'll encourage you to explore, question and discover. You’ll be able to shape your learning experience to suit your interests and career goals, and will study with academics and fellow students who share a passion for your subject.

We’ll start you on your learning journey and be there to support you and your wellbeing every step of the way.

If you're enthusiastic and want to learn something new with cutting-edge technology, then Leeds is the place to be.

Your studies are just the start - student life here goes as far and wide as you want it to. You'll have the chance to study abroad, take on industry work experience, make a difference through volunteering, learn a new language, and even start your own business.

We believe that a well-rounded experience will give you the strongest start to your future and help you open doors of all shapes and sizes.

Our campus and community

You'll be joining our welcoming and diverse community of students from all over the world. Our single-site campus is home to everything you need in one place, from libraries, labs and study spaces to shops, cafes, art, fitness facilities, green spaces and our award-winning students’ union.

With everyone based together in one place, we're one community - so it’s easy for you to make friends and feel at home. Explore student life at Leeds with our virtual tour. 

The city of Leeds

When you're looking to venture off campus, you're only a ten-minute walk from our fantastic student-friendly city centre that’s big enough to offer everything you’d want, without being overwhelming.

With heaps of options across food and drink, shopping, museums and galleries, theatre, cinema, live comedy and music, sport, parks and outdoor spaces; Leeds is a city that enjoys huge investment in terms of industry, infrastructure and culture - and it shows.
