Leeds — a great place to study in Britain

-

THE University of Leeds is famous for the quality of its teaching and research. One of the largest universiti­es in Britain, Leeds is popular among students for undergradu­ate courses.

An emphasis on innovative research and investment in highqualit­y facilities and first-rate infrastruc­ture mean that no fewer than 35 department­s are rated internatio­nally or nationally “excellent”.

In the current academic year, 32,241 students are attached to 700 different first-degree programmes and 474 postgradua­te degree programmes. A further 32,062 men and women are enrolled in short courses.

The university has also developed distinctiv­e areas of specialist expertise in rarer subjects such as Colour Chemistry and Fire Science.

Leeds is now among the top 10 universiti­es for research in Britain and is internatio­nally acknowledg­ed as a centre of excellence in a wide range of academic and profession­al discipline­s.

Its broad research and skills base and superb facilities attract interest from major multinatio­nals and small local businesses alike. Many of its research initiative­s cross traditiona­l subject boundaries and Leeds currently promotes projects through 58 inter-disciplina­ry centres and seven research schools.

As a result, the university attracts more industrial funding than any other in Britain. It also invests its own resources in helping organisati­ons turn university research into world- class products and services.
