I have a great time at Leeds Beckett, it's a great place to study. The members of staff are friendly. There are many facilities available, you can get any support if you have some disabilities. The city campus is modern with a big library open on 24h/24h with many computers available. Overall a good experience. Would definitely recommend university to others. Most important piece of advice would be time management.
I am satisfied with my experience at Leeds Beckett. I must admit that since I arrived, I did not face to many difficulties. The Uni is situated close to the city centre. Professors and tutors are wonderful, which makes seminars and lectures interesting and introducing to attend to.
Everything about my uni experience has been amazing,from the sense of freedom, to meeting new people and especially my year abroad last year. I think it's great to have the experience of living on your own and the advice I would give to future students is to really look into your course - no matter how much you love your friends and the city you really have to love your course as well or it's just a waste of time!
Awesome place to go, I had so much fun being at Leeds Beckett. The canteen should be cheaper with more places available. But it's a good place to socialise and you can relax between working.They have lots of courses, good accommodation and the city has a good vibe, and there's always something to do in the Uni or Students Union.
my course is good and the city of leeds is amazing but the information available about the university and what it offers hasn't been clear
A decent place to learn, had a few issues with admin regarding my course
Brilliant university in a brilliant city.
Loved life in Leeds and thr university. But sadly third year experience has not been that great.A great course which just needs some slight revamping.
I think that Leeds Beckett is a stand up university, and deserves far more recognition than it currently receives. They take teaching seriously, and they are wonderful at what they do. I have excelled at Leeds Beckett achieving higher grades than many would have expected, achieving between 63% and 75% in all of my assessments and exams so far.
experience of a life time
Overall, I'm very content with Leeds Beckett as my university. I don't regret applying to my course as I feel that it has given me the best opportunity to prepare for my future career. Despite its size, the community seems to be very tight knit. The community is often referred to as the 'Leeds Beckett family'. During my time at Leeds Beckett, I've received some fantastic once in a lifetime opportunities. I've been able to attend specialised course field trips abroad to New York and many more, as well as being given the option to study abroad at fantastic specialised universities. I've been prepared very well for my career in the process with the help of tutors, guest lecturers, studio visits, exhibitions, and specialised events. My only critism is that Leeds Beckett needs a bigger budget for certain things, but don't be put off by its size. As a student, it feels surprising small and tight knit to me. The atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming. I don't regret choosing Leeds Beckett, and I'll be very thankful of this in the future.
24 hour library, great support outside of studies and always a free computer to use. Lecturers are usually east to contact and staff are always ready to help. shame the student union bar is never open in the evening.
The university is great. Currently on a placement year away from Leeds as part of my degree course. Given 5* job prospects because most employers value work experience over pure academic knowledge and although I haven't graduated yet; being given the opportunity to gain both so far at Leeds Beckett makes me feel well-prepared for the world of work, with the knowledge and skills required to achieve my desired career path. The city is also ideal for students for many different reasons.
First class university. The course I'm currently studying ( Sport and Exercise Science) is very well organised in comparison to other unis. The lectures and seminar tutors are very professional and supportive with assignments and are happy to answer all of your questions and give you guidance if you are struggling with anything. I'm very happy with the choice I made by going to this university. Additionally to this there are over 100 societies that you can join at the uni and you have a chance to meet new people and making the most of your uni life.
Leeds Beckett University is great, it features two campuses, one set in the heart of Leeds City Centre, and one set in the beautiful student area of Headingley. The University is very social and I have not found it hard to make friends with students from all walks of life. The facilities are great for my course, and the teaching is very well done. If the university does your course it is worth a look into, and is a must for sports and music technology/production students.
I came to Leeds Beckett on the open day and fell in love with it immediately and became my first choice university. I am pleased with most aspects of the university, however Leeds as a city can't compare to London!
Great nightlife, lots of eye candy, but seriously brilliant uni, very underrated, numerous facilities, great city
Located in the centre of Leeds which is very handy. Amazing sports teams but some facilities lacking. Other facilities pretty good, good library. Lecture theatres nice. Good on site food court/coffee shops etc. Going a good way towards rebranding the 'met' stereotype
Awesome place to go to uni, backed up with an awesome night life and good facilities.


I am really enjoying my university experience. I am now a second year student studying accounting and finance, and the course has been really interesting. All the academic staff are really helpful and inspiring. If you are thinking of coming to Leeds Beckett University do it! It is such a friendly and welcoming place, and you'll have a great time!
