Course recommendations:
I really liked the system of seminars, at home I only have lectures. The only comment for me is that all my courses stayed within my departement and I would have liked to had more courses, to broaden my education like I have at home.

Personal comments:
I am not reallly fond of just essays as evaluation, I think an exam is good because it makes you study the entire course and not just concentrate on your essay topics. If you just have to essays, it's easy to skip the lectures that are not about your topic! Though one essay or a few during courses are good because you get to focus and you learn a lot about a specific subject that interests you!

Course recommendations:
Professor Bell's lectures are not to miss. Unfortunately I have heard that he is not in Leeds anymore since he is Professor in Oxford now. Criminal law courses are also very interesting

Personal comments:
I missed some practical formation; even more taking into account that i already was a third year student

Course recommendations:
Be prepared for the finals...they often count for your entire grade! Something I was not used to.

Personal comments:
It's too much pressure to have your entire grade based on one test...less weight should be placed on the test and more on course work

Course recommendations:
Dont be affraid if you feel a bit loose at the begining...it is commun and very normal.

Personal comments:
Be ready to write essays and prepare good presentations...don't wait till last minute to do it :)

All of the architecture courses taken were well taught and extremely interesting. Some of the engineering courses taken were not as well taught.

Any

Course recommendations:
Coming from Sweden I'm used to studying a course at a time. It is important to consider before you start how you think that you will react to few lecture hours a week and do severall courses at once. It is too easy to leave it all too late!! I chose to not interact with other international students, however there are a lot of them in Leeds and if you want to meet students from other parts of the world it's easy as pie, just keep an eye open for what is going on at the international centre, also the was an Erasmus society at the union. These are also good ways of meeting English students that have been or plan to go abroad studying.

Course recommendations:
Registering for courses is kind of a nightmare at Leeds. I would advice to look through the course offerings at Leeds and make sure the ones you are interested in are available the semesters you are there. Then make a list with plenty of backups in case times conflict or courses are full.

Personal comments:
Coming from the US, the acadamic style was very different. There is less hand holding in terms of frequent examinations or assignments. I felt like I learned less in the courses then I would have at my home institution. On the plus side, the smaller workload allowed me to enjoy all sorts of travel.

Course recommendations:
My favourite course, not only in Leeds but out of all the modules I have ever taken was Romance, Ballad and Fairytale. The focus in this module is on the link between older English literature and more modern novels. It is essentially for those who has an interest in folk tales and the fantasy genre.

Personal comments:
Not really, but a piece of advice to other students is to really think through their choice of courses, and remember the possibility one has to change these choices early on in the term,and lastly; be prepared since there is a lot of reading to get through.

Course recommendations:
no,

Course recommendations:
too many books to read for literature courses. could have been much deeper interpretation if 3 or 4 book less!! very good interaction between teacher and students during seminars.

Personal comments:
see question 2

Course recommendations:
Stay away from social sciences, development students, disability studies, sociology, social policy all of it aweful at Leeds!

Personal comments:
No one cares about you. No help or guidence at all. If you are international it doesn't matter. You need to write a British paper and no one is going to tell you how to do that even if it would be simple for them to do so.

Course recommendations:
Courses are not great, just basic overview of important information

Personal comments:
Not have grade dependent on 1 exam.

Course recommendations:
Just make sure that if you need certain classes at home they have them when you go.
