Our contextual admissions scheme Access to Leeds is for prospective applicants who want to study an undergraduate degree with us, but come from a background that is less likely to attend university.

It could provide extra support and offer you the chance to study an undergraduate degree with lower entry requirements, if you meet the eligibility criteria.

A foundation year is an extra year of study taken at the start of an undergraduate course that helps you to develop your study skills.

It’s designed to support applicants from a widening participation background who meet our additional entry requirements criteria, or those who don’t currently meet the typical entry requirements for direct entry to a degree.
