I think Leeds Beckett is a great uni! It’s close to the city centre, easily accessible if living out in Headingley or Hyde park etc. it’s such a welcoming environment and all the staff are always happy to help. There is so many society’s and sports to join and meet new people!
It has great clinical rooms and facilities to work in which is great practice for getting use to a hospital environment. The library is large and has lots of facilities to sit and work, as well as read and do group study sessions. Online support it also easy to navigate and has all the links and websites within the same area so it’s really helpful when working. Something that could be improved could be some of the equipment we use and are taught with is very outdated or doesn’t work which doesn’t reflect real life scenarios and makes it harder to learn from.
The Headingly campus is in a great location with many pubs, shops and is only a 20 minute bus ride into the city centre. There are great sport facilities and the accommodation has a very homely feel. However, I think there could be more society’s for people to join as most of them are just sport teams.
LBU is a great place to study. Both campuses are very nice and spacious, lots of places to do some independent studying. Lecturers and all staff are very supportive with work and other stuff.
Incredible pastoral care. Some of the prices for food on campus are too high for students.
The Campus is great and the course is brilliant, but there seems to be a big disconnect between the students and lecturers/ staff body.
friendly staff, nice and up to date facilities, wonderful area. knowledge of where to go for support could be improved
The overall vibe is amazing with amazing lecturers and great lessons presented. I love how most lecturers upload their lessons a day or a few days before we are due in so that we can have a look and make notes beforehand. The support here is very diverse from accommodation, study resources, student finance etc. The only thing I think could be improved is the overall prices for university food and having a more spaced out timetable. For example, when we have a 4 hour block, it's split into 2 hours with a longer gap (more than 10 minutes) before the next 2 hours.
It is a fantastic campus with great facilities and the staff are amazing and really friendly
It is a great place to study as the people are nice the location is great and personally I absolutely love my course. Little adjustments could be tweaked to make it better like maintenance with the taps as they can get very hot in Broadcasting and more of a connection between city campus and Headingly.
The team at Leeds Beckett are very supportive and understanding they only want the best for you. The uni campus is very well equipped and very pretty makes it great place to study
its in a great location with a town near by and a city close aswell. the library is small and could be expanded.
Amazing team of support but hard commute on bus

It's best university in the leaves and provide so many opportunities to the student and I explore the new opportunities like with the practicals not only focus on Theory learning but most focus on practical learning.
One of the strongest parts of studying at Leeds Beckett has been the facilities. The library is genuinely one of the most useful spaces on campus, with plenty of study areas and helpful staff. The gym and sports facilities are well-maintained, and the specialist rooms for certain courses are usually modern and easy to access. The campus layout also makes it simple to move between different buildings without feeling overwhelmed. In terms of what could be improved, some facilities feel inconsistent. Certain buildings or classrooms are modern, while others are outdated and could use refurbishment.
Leeds Beckett is a great campus to study at. it has great facilities and is not too far away from shops and places to eat for lunch. the staff are extremely helpful - especially on my first day. I came to Leeds as I heard it was a great city and has many friendly people. I would say that the headingly campus library is rather larger and more fascinating from the Leeds Beckett city campus but they both accommodate the best books and study spaces.
Nothing bad
Honestly, the feeling of going to uni for the first time felt so overwhelming and it has been so good so far. Prepare to be enlightened. As a first year student who enrolled late on her course and found it difficult to catch up, the library was of utmost use to me. Is it the comfortable sitting or spacious, well ventilated environment? not to mention the silent study areas, I found it easier to read, study and cover areas I was lagging behind in the library. Also, as a biomedical science student, the lab facilities are top notch and has given me the best lab experience so far, the way the lab assistants including my lecturers patiently guide us through our practicals has been of great help to me. Also the effort our lecturers go through to upload quizzes and textbooks for students to read and revise has been so relevant to my academics. Now to another good part, one thing I love is a good place that doesn’t cost much to eat and The Hive, my uni restaurant understands that assignment, being able to walk a short distance from class to a cool place like the hive is wholesome and the cuisine is so tasty and they offer discounts on certain days which is very fair. Another thing I love is the job and news update we get on my Beckett and the posters we have in restrooms about if ever getting abused and numbers to call for help, it makes me confident I am in a uni that cares deeply about the wellbeing of students. About my worst experience in uni, I am happy to say I don’t have a worst experience in uni. My uni has been so good to me. I know it may seem like the points I’ve mentioned through my experience about my uni being a great place to study may seem like the norm but as someone coming from a developing country, Leeds Beckett University has offered me such quality education and satisfactory experience so far. Lastly, Leeds Beckett University could be improved by providing more academic support to students who are in need of extra help such as a late enroller and the addition of more interactive teaching styles to improve student engagement during lectures .
Teachers are very nice. Worst thing for international student getting CAS letter very difficult.

Leeds Beckett is a great place to study because the campuses are played out in such a good way that it’s easy for me as a commuter to get to uni and back in good time. Another thing is that the lecturers try to get us involved as much as possible and are so approachable so as a commuter again I appreciate that because it’s harder to make friends in this sense. All around it’s a fun and interesting place to be
The best thing about my modules is that everything easily layed out in my Beckett so if I ever need help with assignments ect it’s easy to navigate I’d say some lectures could work on their response times but again it’s not a negative for everyone
The one thing I’d like to see more is a bit more security in the sense that anyone can walk into the uni that makes me a bit weary so maybe a system where you have to scan in to open doors ect
