It’s such an amazing, welcoming university, with such a community feel. Studying here has changed my life… I’m so happy here, and I’m proud to be part of Leeds Beckett.
Help is always at hand at LBU, from the tutors, money advice team, wellbeing team to the canteen staff, everyone within the university is so helpful and have helped me personally more than I could have ever expected. As a mature student I was anxious to start but half way through second year and I'm so glad I chose LBU!

Leeds Beckett University is more than just a university to me, it feels like home. My best aspect of Leeds Beckett university is that it has a strong student support system and this includes academic support, mental health support and even support in terms of jobs, internships and many others opportunities. My university is also very rich in diversity, so you get to meet people from different parts of the world and also people who share a simple culture and background with you, which makes it feel so welcoming. It's also very student friendly in terms of transport costs and food cost because the food in the cafeterias are not only very delicious but also very affordable, ranging from 1 pounds to 6 pounds. There is also a free bus that takes students to and from from the city campus to the headingly campus rather than making us pay for public transports. The university also offers a wide range of quality facilities for students and I think my best one has to be the standard gym and the university in both the city campus and the headingly campus because I love working out in the gym. I also love the fact that my lectures are very welcoming and easy to understand and as a law student that has gone a long way in reducing the difficulty of my course. They are also very accessible as I can easily book an in person or online meeting on Teams whenever I need them to help me explain some concepts. The lecturers can care so much about the process of their students The worst aspect of my university experience was probably adapting to the weather condition since I transferred from a different country. I also expected more student support as an international student or more direction. I have already raised the concern during the course representative assembly, so we are currently working on it and I hope to see more improvement on that aspect in the next semester. Overall, I have had an amazing student experience way better than I had imagined. Thank you.
Everyone is friendly and helpful. Theres lots of resources at the university including a really nice library. The worst aspect of my uni experience is having to walk up all the hills in leeds :(
Strong support services and a vibrant, welcoming student community. The Wi-Fi and online learning platforms can be unreliable and slow, especially during peak times. Invest heavily in upgrading the university's digital infrastructure to ensure consistent, high-speed connectivity for all students.
LBU is a great place to study CS because it offers practical, industry-focused learning, helpful staff, good facilities, and strong placement opportunities. It could be improved by adding more in-depth theory, offering more advanced modules and also organising some hackathons.

First gen student
I love how modern the city campus looks, it makes it feel as though a lot of recent care and time had been put into making it look clean and welcoming. What makes it a good place to study is the friendliness of staff as well as kind and very supportive lecturers. I loved my experience so far, but I just wish there could be more fun events led by the Student's union.
Crackin university, supportive teachers, great location!
Amazing university with a lot going on all the time!
The Faculty are supportive and at the same time remote for international students. The Campus is fine with learning environment. The worst part is we don’t have a specific place where we can ask clear some of our queries, like a student is sent to different buildings just to ask a simple question.
Best = very welcoming and easy to navigate worst = amount of work with some help and support but could have some more
There are so many places on campus for studying, not just the library but you can book rooms or study pods. I think the student facilities are really good but the food places at uni could be cheaper especially at the student union. I also think the student union should be bigger, as in more sociable. Most student unions have club nights but Leeds Beckett doesn’t. Besides that the student life is very good, it’s a very social and fun city so there is always something to do and it’s good that the city campus is right in the centre.
The support and opportunities given at the university makes it a lovely place to study. The location of the university is excellent as it isn’t a far walk from the bus station or train station and they offer a student bus up to headingley campus which makes it easy to travel between campuses.
I like that there’s multiple areas for students to study isolated as thats something that benefits me massively. My course recently got moved to the headingly campus which I do prefer as it’s far easier to get parked. My lecturers are all extremely helpful and I rarely eat more than a day to hear a reply on emails.
I love the campus and the location of it, personally, I find it better than being located in a city. The student support is great and the format of the course is even better. I love the chance we get to share our opinions on what we like and don’t like.
I love the headingley campus I think it is the perfect location and it’s got evetrhing I could need.
Parking is an issue for me. Free parking should bd provided for uni students
I really like the teachers, I know they try their best to make the seminars as engaging and fun as possible. They are also really supportive. however, sometimes the lecturers have too many slides with way too much information to even take time to understand.
Leeds Beckett University is great because of its friendly campus vibe, supportive staff, and excellent facilities like modern libraries and sports centers. The city of Leeds also offers a vibrant student life with plenty of events and places to explore. However, it could improve by offering more flexible course options and better parking availability on campus.


Leeds Beckett is a great university. The uni is right in the centre making it easy to get to from all accommodations. The staff are all very helpful especially at student services. The student life is great, there is always something going on in Leeds!
The course is taught entirely in class which I believe is beneficial as sociology is a subject which calls for a lot of debate and being in person I find this is easier. My first semester I have been in 8 hours a week which has given me plenty of time to do my own research and readings on the module content as well as settle into uni life itself. Contact with the lecturers is great, there are no questions left unanswered and the lectures are very informative.
The kitchen is modern and spacious although we are in a flat of 5 but only have 4 cutlery drawers. The rooms are also spacious with decent amounts of storage and desk space. I was apprehensive about the idea of a wet room before moving in but it hasn't been as awful as expected. The staff are friendly and the IQ app is easy to use. The maintenance team are brilliant and always come within a few hours of request. The social areas are great and there are always activities advertised being hosted in the social areas.
