School of Languages, Cultures and Societies Offer Holder Events

Congratulations on your offer

My name is Dr Samuel Gartland and I am the Undergraduate Admissions Tutor for the School of Languages, Cultures and Societies. I would like to personally congratulate you on your offer to study with us.

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, 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.

Saturday 22^nd April 2023

If you have any problems trying to book your offer holder event please contact our Admissions Team.

Accommodation talk

This talk is part of your offer holder event but needs to be booked separately to your offer holder event. We suggest you book your offer holder event first using the link above then come back to book your place at an accommodation talk.

Once you’ve booked your place at an accommodation talk, you’ll receive an email confirming your booking. Please keep this handy as you may be asked to show it when you arrive at the talk. Book your place at an accommodation talk.

You can also find out more about accommodation at Leeds by speaking to staff at the Information Fair in Parkinson Building. Drop in from 11:30 – 15:00 on the day of your event.

Joint honours students

Please note that if you're a Joint Honours student, you will be invited to an offer holder event provided by the school from which you received your offer. However, there may be an opportunity to visit your second School if they are running an offer holder event on the same day. Please ask our Admissions team at your School of Languages, Cultures and Societies offer holder event to confirm if this is possible.

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 online video 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.

Talk to a student
