Leeds Beckett celebrates high rankings in 2024 StudentCrowd Awards

09 July 2024

Leeds Beckett University has proudly secured top positions in the 2024 StudentCrowd University Awards, reflecting the positive experiences of students at the university.

Student reviews have placed Leeds Beckett among the top institutions in several categories:

#14 - Best UK Universities
#10 - Best UK Universities for Campus and Facilities
#15 - Best UK Universities for Students' Union
#13 - Best UK Universities for Careers Service
#15 - Best UK Universities for Wi-Fi and Internet

The StudentCrowd University Awards are based on verified student reviews, ensuring genuine and trustworthy feedback. This accolade highlights that Leeds Beckett students regard the institution as providing one of the best educational and campus life experiences in the UK.

The awards were determined through the analysis of over 31,000 reviews submitted on StudentCrowd between June 2022 and June 2024. Students rated their universities across 11 different categories, each out of 5 stars.

UCAS research indicates that 'online reviews by students' are the second most crucial resource for university applicants. Prospective students rely heavily on these reviews to gain insights into current student experiences. From understanding campus life to receiving candid feedback on course content, student opinions play a significant role in shaping applicant expectations.

Professor Peter Slee, Leeds Beckett University Vice Chancellor said: "LBU has always been proud of its commitment to ensuring our students have a great experience, which is underscored by our silver rating for student experience in the TEF. It demands a great deal of hard work by colleagues in every school and service. So, to see our students' public declaration of their appreciation is wonderful."
