Sort:Latest reviewsBest aspect is how supportive and ready to help lecturers are Worst aspect is the wifi is poor and won’t connect for some devices
Very easy to make friends
it’s so good
This uni is a great place with amazing teachers and in a really good place
The best aspects include The Hive and how much there is to do in the city. The worst aspects are people on my course.
Work on the layout and feel of the student union
Being in central helps reaching the markets and restaurants easily tutors are helpful, and the city is great for students can be improved if some apps that are used within the system can be developed and become more student-friendly and having the information within the module in different sources are helpful.
The Headingley campus is truly lovely, with really friendly staff who always make the place feel welcoming. I especially love the outdoor grass spaces they’re perfect for relaxing, studying, or just spending time with friends. However, I do think the bus timings could be improved, as they don’t always line up well with students’ schedules. Overall, it’s a great campus that could be even better with a few tweaks to the transport options.
Good facilities for studying, however the library and the canteen get very full on the Headingley Campus. Not enough spaces to sit and socialise on breaks. Brilliant staff support.
Good location got everything we need nearby.
The location is right in the city centre so you are never short with places to eat, drink, or entertain yourself. The involvement from the student union could be improved however as I feel as though I know very little about it.
The best part of Beckett is how all facilities are on hand and easily accessible, as well as plenty of quiet study spaces, not much area for improvement overall.
I love leeds back at university and it was my first choice of university out of all of them in the UK. This is due to location and a very picturesque campus! The Staff are lovely and couldn’t ask for anything else
The facilities are amazing and I adore my lecturers and friends I have made here, I do feel however student support could be a little easier to access.
The best aspects - the nightlife, the events at leeds beckett, the lecturers the worst - honestly rubbish outside the university all the time.
-Sports and society’s
It has a great community of students and support accessible. As well as course tutors who are really helpful for all your needs no matter what they are. The students social group are varied and cater to many people also allowing students to make their own groups to bring others together. The worst thing is the city campus as I feel the buildings are far apart not really making it a campus compared to the Headingley one. Though this location for those who enjoy going out and socialising in out big city is great. Especially for those who commute from home due to the transport that is close by. Making the location convenient for a food shop after uni days!
It is a great place to study because it has professors that actually care and go out of their way to teach you personally, as well as the students that are all happy to help each other.
The facilities provided for my course are outstanding and easy to get to, I commute to uni and the building is only a 15 minute walk from the train station. Being a commuter means I haven't involved myself with the social aspects of uni too much, although I know there are resources for those that stay at home. I have heard great things from the friends I have made here about the social life. Lecturers are very laid back and understanding, making the spaces very welcoming and safe. The uni also offers a 7 day extension on assignments which you don't have to apply for, this takes a lot of the stress away from assignments as long as you stick to the original due date.

Beckett is an extremely supportive university, staff members and facilities have been a massive help, I have always felt confident when being on campus because of this. However, I have struggled getting in touch with careers team advisors due to the amount of students who are also wanting to use the service, this has knocked my confidence slightly as I am worried this will impact me after I graduate.
I had recently completed a placement module and found it was quite unorganised and not as expected. The assignment for this module is also presentation based so my grade relied heavily on others, I found this a struggle. Although I do have very helpful tutors in other modules, I am able to be creative and be interactive with my classmates. I have gained confidence that I may of not built with other university courses.
