Leeds Beckett University

Our history stretches back almost 200 years to the founding of the Leeds Mechanics institute in 1824. Since then, we have grown into one of the largest and most popular universities in the UK with more than 25,000 students studying across our 2 campuses in Leeds.
We offer a wide and diverse range of more than 150 undergraduate and 190 postgraduate courses in various subject areas, from Law and Sports to Arts and the Social Sciences. Our amazing facilities make Leeds Beckett University a fantastic place to learn. From biomedical and sport science laboratories to our very own mock courtroom and highly acclaimed music studios, we provide learning environments which enable you to embrace your interests and career aspirations.

In 2017 we were awarded Silver Status in the Teaching Excellence Framework, in recognition of our learning and teaching provision, course design, placements and links with employers.
