I love the friendly working environment in the university and appreciate all the support ive recieved :)
I love the uni and the lectures. My course is informative and encouraging and I love the studio space. I also love that the uni cares so much about sustainability and inclusion. I don't love the location or Leeds though. It would be nice if it was a full campus and maybe with more access to park or nature environment.

First gen student
The facilities are great, and free to use whenever even just for personal fun. It has a lovely environment and everyone here is so supportive of your goals and projects. It’s quite a small uni so it has a really nice sense of community. I think the student union could be improved. The societies and support offered isn’t the best. But we also have access to the uni of Leeds societies so it hasn’t really become an issue.
Lots of equipment and facilities.
more societies
The worst struggle was to find friends The best was possibility to live in different country, meet new approaches to teaching, develop my skills and open my mind, encounter new cultures and people
lots of facilities and staff are always available to help. could be improved with more societies
Great facilities and tutors- good courses but adobe workshops should be more interactive and in person as well as repeating
Not much room in the cafe and I can never get a chance to be inducted into throwing in ceramics
course is a little too broad all the facilities are amazing tho with so many workshops and inductions to take part in
I think Leeds Art is such a great hub for creatives. Everyone feeds ideas off of each other. Student Welfare is always so helpful for me and especially my friends.

great uni and loving the course
Everyone is really friendly and the building has really good facilities. The staff are always happy to help and answer questions.
Resources for study are amazing however due to the size of the uni the student union and cafe/bar facilities are very very minimal.
After being a part of the university for the past four years (one year of foundation and three years of undergrad), I can confidentially state that Leeds Arts University does live up to being the best Art university in Yorkshire. From the support from the teaching staff to the resourcefulness of the university, I am glad to have joined this university.
Really great uni but I think there is more that could be done with the collaborations with other students in Leeds as it’s quite seperate from the other universities.
Best aspects is the resources we have on my course are amazing Nothing bad to say
I love the facilities and opportunities but do not love the lack of support from tutors


Good facilities and staff
Good lessons, not as much tutor time/ in uni time I would like.
