Choose Your Course
Before you apply, the first thing is to decide which course you want to study. There are a few ways you can apply depending on whether you want to study an undergraduate or postgraduate course. If you have not yet decided on the course you want to study, you can use our online course finder.
Once you have found a course you would like to apply for, please note if there is an application deadline. Most courses do not have an application deadline for international students, however some international scholarships may have an application deadline. In most cases, we would recommend applying at least 3 months before the start of your chosen course.

How to apply for an undergraduate course
Apply through UCAS
If you want to study a three-year undergraduate degree, you can apply through a website called UCAS.com – this is the University College Administration Service, and all full-time undergraduate applications from UK and international students can be made through UCAS.
We've put together a useful guide which shows you the step-by-step process of applying through UCAS.
The standard UCAS application fee for 2025 entry is £28.50, covering up to five university choices.
Apply to us directly
If you are only choosing Leeds Beckett University and don’t want to apply for an undergraduate course at a different university in the UK, you can apply directlyto us through our online Applicant Portal.
There is no fee for applications submitted directly. You may submit applications for more than one course.
It is important to note that if you are applying directly to us for an undergraduate course, you should not have an offer with UCAS.
How to apply for a postgraduate course
Apply to us directly
Once you have found the course you want to study in our online course finder, you will then click on the ‘Apply Now’ button located at the top of the online course page.

Once you have submitted your application you should receive a decision in due course. The exception to this is if the course you have applied for has a closing date specified.
