Leeds is perfect for artists to thrive. You’re surrounded by a love for music and a supportive network of people that are more than happy to help you get where you’re trying to be. Yes, the facilities are gorgeous but you can find that anywhere with a highly rated course. Leeds just has the love that sets it apart from other universities.

Lecturers are supportive and have always expressed care and concern for mine and others wellbeing, as well as their work. Course content is enjoyable but also widely applicable to many different career paths and opportunities

Perfect location for first years learning to navigate Friendly and helpful 24 hour staff Comfortable rooms Many festive events held for students that are unable to go home for holidays

I love being right in the heart if the city centre for uni but also having the option to go to Headingley Campus to study if I want to. My course has been amazing, all of my tutors are always on hand to help whenever you need them and are really good at pushing you and helping you to get work experience while you study. I've been involved with a sports team which has completely made my uni experience. The facilities in the new school of arts building are amazing and really easy to access both for assignments and for anything you wish to do outside of uni. Leeds is a lovely city to move to because its big enough to always have things going on and feel exciting but not so big that you're overwhelmed, its also full of other students! Although the student union does have events on throughout the day occasionally I've never really met others through it or felt particularly involved in anything going on however I wouldn't say this has negatively impacted my experience in any way.

As quite a small intake course you get so much time with your tutors whenever you need it in addition to lecture and seminar time. Its placed in the new school of arts building which has amazing facilities you can book out whenever you would like even if you just want to do extra curricular things that are not to do with an assignment. The assignments are always able to be tailored to what you enjoy or what will help you in the future and there is a module every year that requires you to get work experience and reflect on what you have done to ensure you're employable when you leave uni. Some of the content feels repetitive across the years at the start of certain modules but it does always go into more depth and again you can always tailor your assignments to the most interesting parts. There's only one exam but quite a few presentations which is daunting however you get used to them quickly and get a lot of support for if you're worried. Since the start of my second year every class apart from one to ones or the occasional shorter lecture has been on campus and lecturers are constantly checking that our classes are convenient for us, if people are going home earlier for Christmas or Easter they are sometimes moved online. Your timetable can seem a bit sparse but this allows you to book one to ones with lecturers and ensures there is enough time to gain the compulsory work experience hours alongside getting your assignments completed.
