University of Leicester

The university is close to the city centre, adjacent to Victoria Park and Queen Elizabeth College, with green spaces, good facilities, and a lively city.

The University of Leicester holds strong positions in major ranking guides globally and in the UK.

Leicester takes employability seriously enough to build it directly into every degree. Undergraduates are guaranteed 100 hours of work-related learning before they graduate, which is not something most UK universities offer.

The Careers Service offers personal appointments, CV support, mock interviews, employer events, and access to placements. The service is ranked in the top 20 by UniCompare 2025.

Around 90% of undergraduates and 89% of postgraduates move into work or further study within 15 months of graduating. Career support continues after graduation through lifetime access to the careers service, one of the more generous post-graduation offers among UK universities.

Leicester offers two on-campus accommodations: The Village, surrounded by green space, and The City, a short walk from campus. Both options are self-catered.

Support at Leicester runs all the way through from arrival to graduation. The team is genuinely accessible, with walk-in help available at every point in time. 

Students are assigned a personal tutor from day one who stays with them through to graduation, checks in monthly, and responds to emails within three working days during term time.
