What students say about University of Leeds
Likes
- I have been studying Masters in International Business at the University of Leeds, and it has been an exceptionally amazing experience.
- Graduate salary with no experience is a minimum of 23000 GBP per annum.\nMost students are placed.\nHundreds of companies visit during career fairs to explain their processes.
- If you have been really good in English since childhood, and in the 12th class you scored 90 marks, you wont need the IELTS score that I needed.
- With one of the best University Unions in the UK, campus life is everything you would expect.
- Stay in university accommodation; they dont provide accommodation fairly at the start of the year, nor do they provide a choice.
- There have been books we have to pay for if we want to do extra reading, but most are available in the library.
- The faculty in Leeds is one of the best in the UK; most of them have worked in the industry, so they are well-placed to provide students with hands-on problem-solving skills in the real world.
- Because it is one of the best universities in the United Kingdom for the degree programme - in the top 3.

- In my course some modules felt very easy which seemed like was made for beginners and not a masters level module. Other than that everything is good.
I chose this university because it's a Russel group university. My course ranking was also good. And the city is student-friendly.

- Likes:
- The University campus is very attractive and makes a very study-friendly environment.,
- The module structure and information provided by the University was very informative. However the teaching style was extremely different from India.,
- I used to like the weekly seminars of each Module which were more practical based however not entirely always related to theory.,
- I did like the guest lectures which helped us getting connected to more seniors to know their work experience.
- Dislikes:
- I did not like the teaching style of teachers as during lectures 90% of the time they only used to read out the slides instead of explaining.,
- I did not like the practical aspect of course as they did not help with placements at all or invited more companies for the same.,
- I did not like the exam pattern as well, there was only 1 assignment submission required for each module which used to put a lot of pressure on grades and there was no other chance for grades to be improved which also made you lose interest while studying the module.,
- The feedbacks of guide were not very helpful for dissertation as it felt I did everything on my own without much of a help which later degraded my final grades.
I chose this university as the university prospectus was very appealing and the University Overall grading was extremely positive to apply for the course. The financial stability and a change of lifestyle also drove me to accept the offer letter. Due to some personal problems in my life, I was looking for a complete change of plans in my life and the University of Leeds seemed like one of the best options at that moment. The modules were also to the point according to my field of study. However, my experience overall here was not as good as I expected, better teaching at such a prestigious university but 80% of the course was based on self-study as professors used to read out the slides they had prepared earlier. The practical approach was very limited, it used to be covered only once a week or once in two weeks for all the modules. The fees were also double the actual University fees for British citizens. Due to the recession my timings for the course did not turn out too well as there are very few jobs for graduates in this role, however, only experienced people get the opportunity. So eventually I would rate my overall experience as mediocre in terms of what I expected it to be before shifting continents.

- Met people from different cultures, great infrastructure, access to courses
- Dislikes:
- No placement as such
I chose this university because, out of the acceptances, this was the only course that provided marketing with analytics so that I could get exposed to the practical side as well. The overall experience is average.

- One aspect I dislike about the University of Leeds is the occasional administrative inefficiency, which can lead to delays and frustrations in handling student queries and processes.,
- Additionally, the large campus size can sometimes make it challenging to navigate and foster a sense of community among all students.
I chose this college because of university ranking, academic ranking, employment opportunities along with ranking, multi cultural etc. The University of Leeds offers a vibrant academic environment, renowned for research excellence and diverse programs. Students enjoy a dynamic campus life with extensive support services, cultural activities, and state-of-the-art facilities.

- The University of Leeds provides a lot of help and the city doesn't disappoint you, it helps you settle down easily.,
- People are kind and very helpful all around the campus and city.,
- The University encouraged us to attend several networking events and even took initiative to organize them as well.
- Dislikes:
- The university should be more specific about their course structure.,
- There should be options for several modules as people come from different academic backgrounds.
The University of Leeds has a decent rank and is situated in a beautiful city with loads to give you as a student. It is small enough to understand British culture. The course that they were providing was unique and exactly what I wanted. The overall experience was filled with ups and downs but it has made me a different person altogether. It is not only about completing my master's but also studying abroad has made me a better and stronger person. It was challenging but there was so much to learn and adapt to along with studies.
- Likes:
- I love my city, amazing professors, incredible opportunities that university provides.,
- I love how understanding they are when it comes to mental health and managing my workload.
- Dislikes:
- I dislike how I have to climb a literal hill to get to my university.,
- I dislike how I have to fill a million forms to get a simple permission and how small their threshold is for plagiarism check.
This university has specific modules I wanted to study and the university is ranked among top 100 in the world. What I love the most about my university is that there is help for literally everything you need, be it academic help, job opportunities guidance, mental health, financial health etc. I chose my program because I wanted to join the pharmaceutical industry and this course is the absolute foundation for it. Overall, I am glad I took a risk to come this far from my comfortable zone. I am now capable of doing things, I never thought I could do. I love how I have experienced what UK universities have to offer and now I cannot wait to make my impact in the world.

- University of Leeds was among the top 10 universities of the Russell group, the university let me tailor the course according to my needs, I heard the faculty was great from previous students, Leeds as a city was great to live in and was affordable as well.,
- The university's constant involvement in their students' growth a with a great feedback system was a highlight.
- Dislikes:
- As mentioned earlier, there was no placement cell of the university. It held fairs but they weren't enough as they just helped discovering potential companies that a person can apply to. But without a dedicated placement cell, it becomes very tough for foreign students.
The university was resourceful and helped expanding my network. Academics were great and I felt I was supported throughout. I was majorly disappointed about the placement opportunities that the university failed to bring for their study abroad students. That diminishes your ROI greatly.

- It was top 100 universities all over the world. It is renowned for teaching mathematics and Data science. University takes care of students well being which makes me go for this university.,
- They offer a good amount of knowledge to me. They take care of our well-being and even sometimes provide valuable sources to carry out our research of the projects. The student union is also very good lots of free stuff is present there.
- Dislikes:
- Moving class to class in a different building is quite a hastle in this university. There is quite an uphill even between the buildings making it very tiring.
University experience is really good. You have plenty of students with similar backgrounds trying to understand the same topics you can discuss with each other. University have some doubt clearing sessions which help to grasp topic in more depth.
