Postgraduate Reviews of Courses at Leeds Beckett University

At a PGR level, it is more autonomous, but it is still quite a cohesive experience if you choose to engage. The uni does well for the course, there is a direct connection to industry and affinity towards making it practical.
The student support could be enhanced especially at a PGR level. It's less cohort and needs more attention at a more unit-level, which I imagine is difficult to engage. It is a halfway house between student and staff, so a bit more attention to either side (or preferably both) would really enhance the experience. read full review
I study online so can't comment on many of these things - however the access to support is very good. read full review
The Leeds Beckett University has two campuses. One in Headingley, and the other, that is is located right in the heart of the city. The city campus has good access to shopping and healthcare. The University has several study-friendly areas throughout the campus which is great to get work done.
I was disappointed with the gym subscription plans. Not only is it expensive, it also comes in packages of accessible arenas. As a basketball player, I would have only wanted to pay for access to the basketball courts and the fitness gym which I would expect to be cheaper. But no, I have to buy an entire package that contains a swimming pool, dance area, etc.

As an international student, Leeds Beckett made the transition into a new country and culture so easy for me. Lecturers are extra supportive during term time and even during assessment periods. The diversity of the university has given me a lot of insight in other cultures and I’ve made friendships that I hope last a lifetime from this university. read full review
It’s a good university with great facilities and strong lecturers on the arts side, but it’s lacking in socials and events. The societies sometimes feel abandoned, with inactive Instagram pages and Discords. Because of that, many LBU students end up hanging out with the societies at the University of Leeds, which are much more active and well-organised. Eating options are also very limited, and even if there are some, I still haven’t found any student kitchens on the city campus. read full review

It's known as a professional-based university with a modern approach, providing vocational-oriented education and fostering enterprising skills. read full review
I choose this university because of student vibrant life , support center big reputation, industrial collaboration for students curriers opportunities and also for students financial support but the one thing is the timeline for submitting 2nd semester fee which is too earlier I think they should make an easier pathway like installments for easier to student to pay overwhelmed it's nice to be here read full review
We have assignments which are shoots outside. I wish they let us get vans or give budgets to some of it as the amount of equipment we have to take out of the university are sometimes quite big. read full review
