Leeds

The University of Leeds is one of the top institutions in the UK, and there’s a ton of amazing things to know about it!

Let’s start with some quick facts:

• Founded in 1904
• Has three campuses: The Main Campus, the Beckett Park Campus, and the Headingley Campus
• Student halls of residence include Devonshire Hall, Cromer Terrace, and many others

Over the years, the University of Leeds has consistently been ranked among the top universities in the country.

When it comes to subject specialisms, it’s a jack of all trades and a master of many! There is a strong focus on engineering, medicine, and business, but it is also highly regarded in music, drama, and history.

Popular bars include The Library and The Dry Dock, while Be At One and the HiFi Club are well worth a visit. If you fancy some culture, head to Leeds City Museum. Then there is the fact that Elland Road – the home of Leeds United – is on your doorstep.

Former Labour leader Ed Miliband went to Leeds, as did artist David Hockney, Sex Education star Emma Mackey, and BBC Breakfast host Naga Munchetty.
