Overall

I wish I had known...

I wish i wouldn´t have sended so much stuff to England as it was even more expensive to send it all back after the year abroad.

In my opinion:

I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.

You have to open for team work, like working in an international environment, and be able to concentrate on the study even if the nightlife/social life is that awesome.

Final comments

Leeds is near to a lot other famous cities in the north of England, like Liverpool, Manchester or York. Scotland is also not far away and worth to visit for a weekend by car and walk in the mountains and green untouched landscape. Unfortunately there are no low cost airlines flying to the airport in Leeds/Bradford. But from London to Leeds it´s about 5-6 hours by bus. Also, traveling by the coach (national express) is a lot cheaper than by train!

Final comments

Book tickets(coach,train,flight) more than one month in advance, it saves you between 50% and 500% of the fare( train ticket from Leeds to London,£10 if booking early via Internet, £65 if buying from the rail station)

You'd better to live in Hyde Park or Headingley more than residences.

Get a job there even a 15 hours a week but it is a good way to meet people and to get some money to travel.. and try not to live with people from your country..

emphasis on course structure, not necessarily that there need to be a large no. of modules. student should get some sort of benefit. No. of modules should be reduced & accordingly timing on each module need to be increased.

“Amazing teaching, pity about..........”

Kate T

United Kingdom, Undergraduate
Psychology and Behavioural Sciences

Overall

I can’t say enough positive things about the teaching, courses and educators at Leeds Met. However, the administrators and management made the (in the students’ opinion) poor decision to spend an enormous sum on renaming and rebranding the university. We were really disappointed that the huge fees we paid were not reinvested into the student experience but instead spent on unecessary rebranding. However, like I say, the teaching staff are incredible and will never be matched!

Pros

Teaching is incredible

Cons

Student investment
