PhD in Social and Political Dimensions of Sustainability

University of Leeds

The student life is great and the campus is huge and conveniently located near the city centre. Since it's such a big uni there isn't as much chance for staff/student interaction as one might want, but I'm generally loving my time here.

The UoL is a vibrant and exciting campus to be a part of. So much is going on each day, whether it be student societies or events hosted by different departments targeting student well-being and employer-focused sessions. I think the support the UoL offers can be improved in terms of departments being more aware of where to signpost students if they need something, such as mental health services, funding, accommodation needs etc.

Best aspect - big campus, many activities and events for students, buildings are beautiful and many study spaces and places to eat!

University of Leeds is an amazing university, I cannot fault it atall. I don’t know one person who doesn’t love their time there and the city. The student life is lively and buzzing every day. The support is next to none. The facilities are great, I still find out about new ones that I hadn’t heard of even in my third year. The lecturers are engaging and involved in lots of research around the world. Personally, the university have helped me financially, academically and pastorally in so many ways. I am incredibly grateful to them and would recommend it to anyone. They have supported me financially through bursaries and emergency hardship funds. They have supported me academically through flexible mitigating circumstances and the plus programme (for disadvantaged students). And, they have supported me pastorally through student support officers and free counselling. Their study abroad options are also amazing and accessible to anyone. These are just a few points on why the University of Leeds is a great choice!

Teaching staff and modules/lectures/seminars are all great and very engaging to be in, assignments are easy to understand and plenty of help is given for them.
