Planning your Open Day

Join a subject talk where academic leaders and current students will discuss why Leeds is a great place to study your chosen course. Find out about the incredible learning opportunities and high-quality research facilities Leeds has to offer.  

Our academics’ globally recognised research feeds directly into their teaching, so you’ll benefit from the latest knowledge and thinking.   

Attend a taster lecture to experience first-hand the excellent teaching our students receive.

Our subject tours help you to discover where and how you’ll learn and view the facilities you’ll have access to for your course.

Begin your journey with us by joining our flagship talk and learn all about life as a University of Leeds student.

You'll hear from current students and a recent graduate as they share their experiences of living and learning in Leeds. We'll also be joined by Leeds University Union to talk about our vibrant student community.  

What costs can you expect at university and how can you manage your finances? You’ll find how to apply for student finance, and what financial and cost-of-living support is available at University of Leeds.

Gain advice on your UCAS application process and hear top tips about making a successful application to university.

Discover your new home with a tour of our undergraduate accommodation.

We understand how important your accommodation is, which is why we’re committed to making moving to university as easy as possible.

You can also learn about our great range of accommodation choices and how to apply.  

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. 

Discover opportunities for studying a language ‘discovery’ module as part of your degree, or independently to further broaden your horizons and career prospects. 

Learn about the wide range of international and UK-based opportunities at Leeds including work placements, studying abroad, careers support, internships, volunteering, research and leadership programmes. 

Explore our world-class sporting facilities and discover social sport, performance, scholarships, leadership and academic opportunities. 

We understand that being a parent, carer or supporter of someone who is thinking of studying at Leeds, you may have your own questions about the University and higher education.  

Our Parents and Carers Talk is the perfect way to find out more about supporting your child through the university application process. 

A joint honours degree lets you study two subjects in depth, develop a wider skill set, and unlock more career paths. You’ll gain a broader perspective, join two academic communities, and access more opportunities.

Our sessions introduce you to joint honours degrees work at Leeds, flexible subject combinations, popular pathways, and options for study abroad and placements.

Subject drop-ins are a great chance to talk about your course in depth. You can ask subject specialists your questions and chat to current students about their favourite modules.

Many sessions offer hands-on activities and demonstrations. Often, they take place in the building where you will be taught as an undergraduate. 

Most departments offer a drop-in session throughout the day, so you can visit at a time that suits you. 

Speak to staff from University student services to get advice and ask questions about topics such as finance, contextual admissions, accommodation, personal growth, studying aboard, and student placements. 

You can also find out about support such as Disability Services, student counselling and Library Skills. 

Are you interested in learning about enterprise or becoming an entrepreneur during your studies? You can study enterprise alongside a number of subjects as part of an undergraduate degree.

The Enterprise Team will be at our Open Day, so you can learn about opportunities to help you get a head start. 

Several accommodations managed by the University will be open for viewings to give you an up-close example of our residences. We’ll let you know on the day which residences are offering tours. 

Leeds has many inspirational learning and research facilities ready for you to explore. Take a closer look at some of our facilities with a short tour, including The Edge sports centre, Gryphon Performance Hub and tours of our libraries including the chance to take a self-guided tour of the historic Brotherton Library.
