Lots of variations of modules, lots of books to buy/ loan ect. Some staff were also post grad students so we didn’t get their full attention or dedication. The rest of the staff were great and supportive and passionate about our journey

Great Uni for feeling ‘part of’ and a family vibe. Lots of support on site if needed and the staff were generally friendly. The campus was spread out but not too hard to find. I was proud to attend this uni.

The union doesnu2019t offer much compared to others iu2019ve seen. The food and drink is no cheaper than Spoons, and there is never anyone in there on nights out.

There are numerous clubs of different types, and there is something for everyone. The Otley run is one of the best examples of uni night life in the country.

Leeds is a very expensive city to live in particularly in terms of accommodation, however the university itself offers provisions to help with the cost of living, such as u00a32 hot meals, and a free shuttle bus between campuses.

Weekly academic advisor sessions throughout the first semester, followed by regular checkups thereafter.
