UNIVERSITY OF LEICESTER
Overall Rating

An excellent university that exceeds at everything it aims to achieve. A great experience and would love to attend all over again. A very warm and friendly atmosphere, inviting you and making you feel part of something amazing.

Student Union

Great space to sit and relax as the main hub of the university. Great shops and deals available to students, and lots of support provided. It is a massive privilege to have a Santander on site as well as our own O2 academy, providing excellent nights out and entertainment for all.

Clubs and Societies

A huge and varied selection of clubs and societies, with also the option of inventing your own. Many opportunities to get involved in great sports and societies, improving the social side of University life. I very much enjoy being a member of two societies and I feel it really encompasses the way of student life.

Accommodation

Very friendly atmosphere with very comfortable and suitable accommodation. Lots of activities you can get involved in at halls with many great facilities. Multiple bars and social areas, including great variety of food from the catered option.

Uni Facilities

Great facilities and lots of space to relax between lectures, which is nice to have in an academic environment.

Course and Lecturers

Informative lectures providing lots of support for extra reading and research. Brilliant experience being taught by those who are actually doing the research so have first hand experience and knowledge.

City Life

Great experience of multiple cultures, with a very friendly atmosphere. Just the right size for a shopping centre with a wide variety of shops. Offers student discount nights which are very popular with the students, and really invites the freshers and makes them feel welcome.

Job Prospects

Great job prospects, with a huge amount of support and guidance provided by the careers service. The ability to arrange appointments concerning interviews, assessment centres and CVs really improves your employability and teaches you a lot of useful information. The volunteering opportunities provided throughout the University and the options for further extra curricular activities is really emphasised at the University, providing great opportunities to demonstrate the flexible skills that employers look for. I received great support from the university applying for graduate schemes, which I have been fortunate enough to have succeeded in.

Student Support

Great student support on campus as well as at halls. With the assistance of office staff and residential advisors, all students are made to feel welcome and comfortable when they first arrive. This continues throughout the years, with the support of multiple faculties offering both academic and emotional support. Within your course, being paired with mentors and buddies provides a great supporting network that caters for all your needs.
