Leeds Beckett is looking at how we can provide hybrid options (with the permission of our students) rather than asking our students to come in for a single session so money can be saved on travel.

Is your tenancy agreement all inclusive
Given the recent price hike in utility bills, it’s important that you check your tenancy agreement for clauses that state that your agreement is “all inclusive”, and more importantly if it means what you think it means.
tips from our students
We know the current cost of living crisis is a very real concern for many of our students. While the national crisis means our own costs are increasing significantly, we are determined to make a difference where we can. We have worked with Leeds Beckett Students’ Union and colleagues across the university to create a package of support and initiatives designed to help with some of the extra costs students face. Our Student Support and Advice Team is on hand to support our students with financial information, advice and guidance.
Mental health charter
Working together to create positive change and a mentally healthy university where all members of our community can maintain good mental health and thrive.
