Leeds Beckett boasts five-star QS ratings for employability, facilities, inclusiveness and internationalisation. The university also holds silver status in the Teaching Excellence Framework, as well as enviable employability stats. One of the largest universities in the UK, Leeds Beckett University has over 23,000 students from 143 countries around the world. The institution is committed to providing a friendly environment for all international students, starting with a dedicated activities week for overseas students when they arrive at the university. Prospective students have a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses to pick from. With an ongoing investment of GBP 200 million in campus facilities, students will be using state-of-the-art equipment so that they can graduate feeling ready for whatever the world of work expects of them. This, along with a dedicated careers service for students, has contributed to 90 per cent of all graduates from Leeds Beckett being in work or further study within 15 months after completing their degrees. Leeds Beckett is held in high esteem all around the world and thanks to its strong links with industry, students do their work placements at local, regional and internationally renowned organisations. Located in Leeds, a student-centred city, there are countless exciting activities for students to enjoy outside of their studies. What’s more, London can be reached by train in two hours, so Leeds is a perfect base for those who are keen to visit other areas of the UK and Europe.
