Why study at Leeds Beckett University

When you attend Leeds Beckett University, you’ll be part of a diverse community of students right in the bustling city centre of Leeds in the UK. Their courses are designed to challenge and excite you, ensuring that you develop vital transferable and professional skills. 

As a dynamic modern university, they’re always growing and developing. They’ve built some of the most iconic buildings in Leeds today, and their facilities, learning resources and teaching communities provide you with everything you need to succeed.

Their buildings and facilities are grouped together into two main campus areas — City campus and Headingley campus.
