Going on exchange to the University of Leeds was a great experience that I'll always remember. Leeds is mainly a student town and its very easy to meet people and make new friends. The nightlife in Leeds is amazing and there are things to do every night of the week. I would recommend the University of Leeds to all those thinking about an international exchange program.

I wish I had known how demanding my course would be! If you're interested in postgrad studies in the UK please make an in-depth research of the universities you'd like to study and ask for any information packs listing modules and course structure.

Leeds university is extremely vibrant and diverse and has a very good academic reputation. Teachers are friendly and easy to approach, however it's inherent in their teaching role to demand a lot of hard work on your part!

Go to Natwest if you dont have a UK bank account! They are very open and friendly and will spare you a lot of hassle! One branch is opposite Uni and there are plenty of cashpoints across the city. For accomodation advice visit unipol's website and finally take it easy when the workload starts building up and reward yourself with a coffee, drink or shopping spree! Leeds is a wonderful place to study and you will make many friends from all over the world.Hope this helps!

Very expensive to live there. I also wish I had taken more time out from my studies to travel around the UK more.

It is a lot of work, but at the end it is worth it. I'm an art history student, and I've learned more in this semester than my entire career at my home University. There is a ton to do at night, and it's very lively despite the Industrial exterior.

Hostelworld.com, thetrainline.com, ryanair.com, easyjet.com were all very helpful websites for travelling. Buses will always be cheaper but will take quite a long time to get to your destination. If you plan on travelling around the UK a lot, I'd recommend getting a Young Persons Railcard which you can purchase at any train station. It will provide a nice discount on train travel within the UK.

“High class teaching”
Leonora K
Germany, Undergraduate
Law, 2019
Overall
The University of Leeds offers first class teaching in a beautiful environment. The law school is tightly knit and diverse, making it a fruitful environment to do your degree. There are several libraries to go to for studying, all of which have their own unique feel. There is an active student union which organises events and the many student groups you can take part in. One of the greatest things about the University of Leeds is the option they give you to take an optional module from any other course at the University during your second and third year. This allows you to explore a completely different area, perhaps learn a language, take a math class or dive in deep with something completely different. This challenges you to think and learn in a different way, and is a unique possibility that few other universities offer.

Pros
Selection of good libraries, motivational teachers, good student town,
Cons
Heavily focused on corporate law

“Unlocking knowledge”
Susanna P
United Kingdom,
Language, 2021
Overall
Studying French and German at Leeds was an eye-opening experience. I learnt not only an incredible amount of language but also acquired new ideas and new ways of thinking that made me change my perception of the world, in particular, French and German-speaking regions. The lecturers on my course were incredibly supportive and always willing to answer questions and help guide us in the right direction when it came to essay-writing, general study tips and formulation of our thoughts and opinions in an academic and structured way. The careers service available was equally useful and offered not only online guide presentations on cv-writing and job applications but also one-on-one sessions. These allowed us to focus more on what career paths would be suited to our particular interests and capabilities.

Careers
The school of languages, cultures and societies offered a good handful of internship opportunities, as the university was linked to various different companies abroad. These were mostly companies who had previously hired interns from the university and found them to be consistently reliable candidates. I found my internship in the human resources department at a medical technology firm in Munich through the online university careers portal. Career advice was always provided, more so if the student engaged with the office. The information online is understandably more generalized (although still useful) and for this reason, one-on-one sessions were much more helpful.

Pros
lectures and talks on how to find and apply for an internship

providing more intern opportunities, even for subjects with fewer students
