The student union is amazing! It is led by students who come from many background and therefore there is something for everyone. The location is great too as it is only 10 mins walk from town centre. The city is full of good shops, good nightlife and amazing restaurants. Deffo recommend

The campus is stunning, a fantastic mix of modern building and old. There are over 4 libraries that are open throughout the year, and the books and resources they have inside are fantastic. Student union has recently been refurbished, and there is always something to do!

The University has an outstanding reputation, the course itself was really interesting however the methods of assessment were not the best. Would have liked a little bit more support as a Postgraduate too.

Union is great, has its own night out ‘fruity’ which is probably the best Student night! So much support and activities at the union, which makes you feel like you really belong to the union. Also love how it’s a campus university, which means nothing is too far away and that your accommodation is either on campus or only a 15 minute walk away if you live in Hyde Park. The course I study, Architectural Engineering, is great, where we have our own computer cluster and employability office who help us out with anything from CVs to interview practice. The employability centre have helped to find me summer placements. Our department recently got an extension where we have state of the art facilities and a new architecture studio just for our course, which greatly aids our studies and has allowed us to all work more closely together.

Really great uni overall in a great location close to town and not far from green areas too in Hyde park for those who want a break from the city. Teaching staff seem great and on my course as it is small are always there to help, however I am unsure how well this works one to one on larger courses. Facilities in the biology facility where I am based are amazing and up to date with this being a research uni. Plenty of libraries with space for those who need it during exam time and throughout the year which are well equipped. Overall really happy to have selected Leeds uni, lots of extra talks and employment opportunities for everyone too and plenty of social activities and societies to get involved with in any spare time.

Leeds has literally been the best time of my life. The uni itself is amazing, great facilities and good administration. The campus is really nice and the surrounding areas are really good too. You are never far from anywhere in Leeds, it feels so small yet there's always something going on. Many more nightlife options than my hometown of Manchester, which should have more since it's so big! No regrets coming here, it's so good it's usually one of the go to places our friends that study elsewhere come to visit!

The university as a whole is lovely and has a very positive, healthy energy. There are so many opportunities available and as soon as you start making the most of them you see even more and more. There are many places to go if you need help, such a range of social activities to get involved with and more or less everything you need in the student union. Learning resources are great and it’s useful that they cover a range of teaching styles, although support with coursework could be improved eg. more specific marking, particularly when it’s an assessment style that most students are unfamiliar with.

The campus is always kept clean, the libraries are nice but get too full during exam time. I am happy with the amount of libraries we have. The organisation of the modules could be a lot better with more emphasis on timings of assessments.

The HR management course is well structured, the union offers loads of activities and the overall experience with the university is positive. The Careers service offer great advice and exclusive placements for Leeds students. The campus is great.

Campus inclusive of 24 hours access to computer clusters which are available in pretty much every building on campus. All staff are very friendly and supportive. Student union organises plenty of events to keep everyone involved. There are student communities present for all types of students for eg - a community for home schooled students, LGBT, etc.

When I first came to Leeds from my hometown Malaysia, I couldn’t contain my excitement since it’s my childhood dream to study in the UK. The registration day was also the university-tour day, and I was amazed with all the facilities and classical-looking building all around the campus. Everything was great. My friends were all friendly, and I felt like home. Lecturers were helpful and lively, and easily approachable. Modules were always kept revised and checked by the surveys conducted by the students everytime to ensure the content quality. I also loved the atmosphere and ambiance around the campus as it was always kept clean everyday. Unions were always been helpful towards students, and actively conducted events to reach every student of different cultures, and nationalities.

Never really used the student union facilities but they have a huge club and two bars on campus. Some of the uni facilities are outdated but most are top spec. Course was okay, really depends on the modules you take. Nightlife was brilliant, bars and clubs for all sorts of music tastes. Loads of restaurants and the shopping in the city center is great. Amazing city and uni would definitely reccomended.

I am enrolled as a PhD student in the School of English. Library facilities are really good, but need to be updated to include current scholarship. The campus is quite lively, inclusive, and a very fun place to be in. There are lots of activities to meet all kinds of interests. Highly recommended.

I have bipolar disorder and the university has been great with disability services. I get different exam conditions and my disability is taken into account if I want an extension on any assignment

I am a fourth year law student at the university of Leeds graduating this year and I couldn’t have imagined a better uni to have spent my time studying at. Firstly their study abroad department was amazing, so helpful, informative and provides endless opportunities both when Home and away. Secondly the law department is second to none, the standard of teaching is very high and really helps prepare you for any future career prospects you may have. And finally the university campus and facilities in general are amazing, I’ve been lucky enough to spend my time working in the student union during my time at Leeds and I couldn’t of imagined a better employer to have! If I had the chance to do it all over I definitely would in a heartbeat.
