University of Leeds

Established in 1904, the University of Leeds is one of the largest higher education institutions in the UK. Leeds is also one of the UK’s top ten research institutions and well known throughout the world for its quality of teaching and research.

Integrating research with learning and teaching is at the heart of the Leeds strategy; courses are taught by staff engaged in world-class research and cutting-edge professional practice, and teaching programmes are underpinned by this research. Because of this, students at all levels have the opportunity to learn about the research process and experience how knowledge is created.

The University has a vision to create, advance and disseminate knowledge, which not only develops outstanding graduates and scholars, but also has a direct impact on global society.
