Animations & Interaction

The Leeds Beckett University website occasionally uses animations to page elements and animated gifs to add impact to pages. If you wish to stop them from playing for accessibility purposes or for personal preference then please see the guidance below. Please note that browsers sometimes change how they operate, so please refer to your browser help files to find their latest information.
How do I turn off animations?

Chrome

Chrome users will need to use browser extensions. Animation Policy from Google will help you set your own preferences.

Microsoft Edge

There is currently no way to disable animations within Microsoft Edge. Users of Edge (Chromium) browser can install the Chrome extensions above and use them.

Internet Explorer

To stop animations on a single page you can just press the 'Esc' key. This will stop the animation on that page. If you wish to restart the animations you need to refresh the page. To permanently disable the playing of animated GIF images, open Internet Options > Advanced tab. Under the Multimedia section, uncheck the Play animations in webpage check-box, click Apply and Exit and then restart your computer.

Firefox

Type about:config in Firefox address bar and hit Enter to open Settings. Search for the image.animation_mode flag and change its value from Normal to None. Once you restart Firefox this will disable animations.

Not everyone chooses the right course for them first time round. If you think you haven’t, then you may be able to transfer to another.

Although it is possible to change your course, it should be for the right reasons. Even the time of year can affect whether a transfer will be a good option for you. So, if you are thinking about a change, we encourage you to speak with a Student Life Adviser. They will help you understand your options and things you’ll need to consider. This may include:

How your fees and funding will be affected
How previous study can affect your entry level
Whether the change aligns with your career aspirations
If there is anything else you’d benefit from support with whilst at university

Each person is different and we want you to achieve your best at Leeds Beckett. Our advisers will empower you to make your own choice and support you with your decision.
