 Your choice of university is very important, and this page will help you find all the information you need to make the right decision. It includes information on our upcoming offer holder events, accommodation, taster lectures, the support available to you at Leeds and more.

Your next steps

Now that you have your offer you need to make the decision about whether Leeds is right for you. In order to help you find out more about your course and the University we will be hosting a number of on-campus offer holder events. These events are designed to give you the chance to visit the University, meet our academics and other students and get a taste of life as a Leeds student.

Alongside the day’s subject specific activities there will be an opportunity to take part in other events across the University, such as student-led tours of Leeds University Union and The Edge, an accommodation talk (booked in advance) and an information fair in Parkinson Court, where you can find out more about accommodation, finance and alternative entry.

We will be holding offer holder events on the following dates. Book your place now.

What to do if you can’t attend

We completely understand that not everyone will be able to attend an offer holder event but that doesn’t mean you should miss out. Once the on-campus events are over we will be updating this page with on demand content to help you find out more about studying in Leeds. In the meantime though, if you have any questions please feel free to contact our Admissions Team.

Accessibility

If you have any access requirements please email our Admissions Team so we can ensure you get the most out of your visit. For example, booking a blue badge parking space for on campus events or providing a transcript or captioned video after the online event.

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. Book your place at an accommodation talk at your offer holder event to find out more about our impressive range of University accommodation and what it’s like to live in halls.
