The University of Leeds

The University of Leeds attracts more student applications than any other university in the country, and offers one of the widest ranges of academic courses in the UK.

The University of Leeds is acclaimed worldwide for the quality of its teaching and research. One of the largest universities in the UK, it is most popular among students applying for undergraduate courses. An emphasis on innovative research and investment in high-quality facilities and first-rate infrastructure means that no fewer than 35 departments are rated internationally or nationally as 'excellent'.

In almost a century of teaching, the University has played a leading part in the development of modern higher education in this country. As well as continually strengthening core academic disciplines (Leeds has more undergraduates studying languages and physical sciences than any other UK institution).

By making use of the latest technologies and with its teaching supported by a strong and diverse research base, the University is able to offer a wide choice of interdisciplinary degrees including unusual subject combinations such as music and electronic engineering and Japanese with linguistics.

Leeds is now among the top ten universities for research in the UK and is internationally acknowledged as a centre of excellence in a wide range of academic and professional disciplines. Its broad research and skills base and superb facilities attract interest from major multinationals and small local businesses alike. Many of its research initiatives cross traditional subject boundaries, and Leeds currently promotes projects through 58 inter-disciplinary centres and seven research schools. As a result, the University attracts more industrial funding than any other in the UK. It also invests its own resources in helping organisations turn university research into world-class products and services.

The nine University faculties are as follows:

Faculty of arts
Faculty of biological sciences
Faculty of business
Faculty of education, social sciences and law
Faculty of engineering
Faculty of environment
Faculty of mathematics and physical sciences
Faculty of medicine and health
Faculty of performance, visual arts and communications
