Why study in Leeds?

A compact city with a big city vibe, Leeds has everything a student could want. Endless shops and restaurants to discover. An electrifying music scene. A roaring student community that welcomes all.

Leeds is nestled at the foot of the Pennines, surrounded by rolling hills and moorland. However, don’t be fooled into thinking this is a quiet city. It’s one of the most popular cities of study in the UK, with students making up around a quarter of the entire population.

The famous friendliness of Yorkshire folk is a stereotype we know is true. It doesn’t matter where you come from – as soon as you live in Leeds you are a local.
