The University of Leeds is a public research university in Leeds, England, founded in 1904 as one of the original 'red brick' civic universities and a founding Russell Group member. Its city-centre campus houses Engineering, Leeds University Business School and Law, with English-taught undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral routes across Computer Science, Civil, Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering, Law, Finance, International Business and the AMBA-accredited Leeds MBA.
Leeds' single main campus sits immediately north of Leeds city centre, centred on the Grade II listed Parkinson Building and its clock tower. The University reports around 39,000 students, of whom roughly a quarter are international, drawn from more than 170 countries. Engineering and computing students use the Sir William Henry Bragg Building, with two custom-built teaching labs of high-specification Linux machines plus research labs used on final-year projects; Leeds University Business School and the School of Law sit within walking distance on the same campus, alongside the Edward Boyle and Laidlaw libraries and Leeds University Union.

Accommodation image

The University of Leeds guarantees a place in University-managed accommodation for eligible first-year undergraduate international students who meet published application deadlines, with catered and self-catered halls at a range of price points confirmed on the accommodation office's current rates page. Postgraduate and later-year students typically move into Leeds' large private rental market in areas such as Hyde Park, Headingley and Woodhouse, within walking or short bus distance of campus. Applicants should treat University-managed halls and private renting as separate cost decisions and confirm current room rates, contract length and deposit requirements directly with the accommodation office before budgeting.
Daily living support image

Leeds' campus and the surrounding Hyde Park/Headingley student areas host supermarkets, halal and South Asian grocery shops, and international restaurants reflecting the city's large South Asian student population. Campus catering in halls and the Union offers vegetarian, vegan and halal options, though students with allergy or religious requirements should confirm ingredients directly with catering and residence teams before arrival.
Safety and support image

The University runs a 24-hour Campus Security team and a confidential Report and Support tool for safety, harassment or welfare concerns. West Yorkshire Police and the University jointly run student-safety initiatives across main student residential areas. International students should register with international student support on arrival and use standard UK urban precautions (secure bikes, registered taxis, lit routes). International Student Support assists with visa, immigration, banking and arrival questions, plus pre-sessional and in-sessional English support via the Language Centre. Leeds University Union runs 300+ clubs and societies and a Leeds International Welcome programme. Each School assigns undergraduates a personal tutor, and the Careers Service plus School Employability Teams run CV clinics, mock interviews and employer events.
