I've had an incredible first three months at Leeds Beckett. Learning is made much more interesting by the tutors' lectures and real world examples, which I have thoroughly appreciated. The whole uni life here has been great, just being in Leeds itself feels like such a positive change. I’ve grown a lot since stepping out of my comfort zone and i'm loving every bit of it, both academically and in co-curricular activities. Honestly, it’s been all good so far!
Its okay, but its not the best years of my life like I said it would be. Feel like I'm kinda lost all the time and I just get unexpected things thrown at me like I have been hit with courseworks and exams and I'm just like what where did this come from?
Access to certain facilities, such as the gym and football pitches, should be free but cost an extra fee, apart from that no real complaints.
Lots of stuff and events going on and so much to get involved with if you want to. Lots of different courses to study and the library is great and plenty of space to work too. the indivudal sections and buildings per course is great too as you can find the support needed and also be around people doing the same course and studying the same degree. The practical and labs sides look interesting and I am looking forward to using these as my course goes on. I think the lecture halls could be improved as the desks sizes are not the best and not suitable for working on laptops and then puts you at a disadvantage or a bigger classroom space would be more suitable so you can have normal sized desk to use.
The support for students with mental health issues and disability needs whilst studying is excellent. The campus could do with some more green spaces and a few more study areas, as the library can get very busy, however overall the campus is well set out and equipped for students.
best is the student life and independency worst is the trying to settle into the course
love ittttt
The city campus is very central and within walking distance of most places in Leeds city centre making it a brilliant hub for a diverse experience and social scene. The campus is uphill from the train station which can be an issue for those with mobility issues. A shuttle bus would be appreciated even for such a short trip.
The location of the uni is perfect in terms of the city.
Student support for wellbeing and overall needs is incredible - access to extra support and help is easy and accessible. Slight improvements with fasciitis, as not all rooms have accessible plugs to charge laptops, would be great, but really not much to moan about.
I’m a commuter, so it’s a bit far for me, and that’s the only negative honestly. Student support is great especially for essays, we get 5 day extension automatically and it’s great!
My course has been fantastic, I've made amazing friends and the learning has been really hands on within our seminars which allows for a further understanding of our lecture content and a realistic idea of the requirements of a sports scientist. The social side of uni has been really fun, every small task from food shop to laundry is a fun activity as you get to do it with your friends, joining a society has kept me active, but also allowed me to make some amazing memories and friendships.
Leeds is an amazing city full of lots of student friendly experiences and nights out. The people are amazing and really friendly. Really feels like home away from home. Beckett support is absolutely amazing, if you have issues with accommodation, your course or anything then there always there to help. The academic support is very good. I really enjoy my course and has opened so many experiences and opportunities which I will never forget. My course is really fun and engaging. I enjoy going to my lecture and like the smaller more engaging seminars. The sporting facilities at Headingly campus are sensational , being on campus is a great experience and would highly recommend people study at Leeds Beckett. Best decision I ever made!
It’s really well located, both campuses are really nice but the tutors should reach out as international students who can’t manage to arrive before welcome week have to do so much stuff by themselves.
love it
Study places such as the library could be made bigger. It’s very difficult to get a seat/table in there a lot of the time.
I enjoy the good facilities like the sports and the gym and the good student union
Fab uni, inclusive and overall great
4.4
Leeds Beckett is a great university with a wide range of courses making lots more friendly faces to meet. The split of two campuses allows 2 different areas of study. Being based on Headingley Campus, majority of the students study sport, and there’s lots of crossovers in different lectures. All my lecturers are supportive and always there if you ask or need any help. Nothing ever goes unnoticed and if you require any extra assistance without a doubt you will recieve it.
I think online lectures could be made into worksheets every now and again to engage more students as sometimes it can feel a little boring watching lectures especially when some tend to get a little long.
