Join us as at an offer holder event, your next step to joining a World Top 100 university (QS World University Rankings, 2025).

What to expect at your offer holder day

Our Offer Holder Days are more in-depth than an Open Day, giving you the opportunity to get a feel for our campus, find out more about the application process and what to do next to learn more about your course, the amazing opportunities at Leeds and your next steps to join our vibrant student community.

You'll have the chance to chat to existing current students and staff, ask questions and learn more about your specific subject whilst exploring the spaces and facilities you will use as a student at the University of Leeds.

There will be opportunities to visit some of our accommodation, and join a student-led tour so you can explore our beautiful campus and discover why Leeds is a great place to live and learn.

Hear from our students

A great way to find out more about what it’s like to study at Leeds is to hear from some of our students. In the below videos you can hear from students in the School of English as well as more generally from across the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Cultures.

Placement year opportunities and discovery module options were two of many reasons why Malgorzata chose to study English at the University of Leeds. Hear more about her experience in this video or read about her time at Leeds in her student profile.

Accommodation

Living in halls is a great way to experience student life, make new friends and feel part of our student community. At Leeds we offer a range of different accommodation options, so there's something for everyone.

Taster Lectures

To give you a taste of what it's like to be a Leeds student, some of our academics have put together short taster lectures.
