everything you need to know about applying

There’s lots to think about when applying to university. Finding the right course, location, campus and accommodation are just a few. You’ll have flicked through prospectuses, searched through university websites and given it plenty of thought. But what happens next? We've put together an essential guide with all of the information and advice you'll need to take the next steps.

pick the right location

You may want to stay close to home, or perhaps you’d like to move further away and have a little more independence. Do you want somewhere quiet, lively, or a bit of both? The town or city you choose needs to suit your personality and needs. We love Leeds – it has something for everyone –  but don't take our word for it, hear from our students about what they enjoy so much about our great city.

Leeds, loved by students and with something for everyone.

Leeds. Loved by students and with something for everyone.

It's for those who like the finer things, and those who keep it simple.

For people who love a big night out or a big night in.

It's for people who wear their heart on their sleeve and those who like art on the street.

For those who follow the latest trends and those who make their own.

It's for mud-lovers, boxers, TikTokers, squatters, rockers and people watchers.

It's for new friends and old friends.

The local and the not so local and those who want a big city with a sense of community. 

A city that feels like home.

Leeds, loved by students and with something for everyone.
