An International Faculty

A man places a pin in a map of the world

The Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Cultures attracts students and staff from all over the world thanks to our excellent national and international reputation, and the city of Leeds’ global and diverse community enables everyone to feel at home. In line with the Faculty’s Vision and Strategy for 2025-30 and the University’s International Strategy 2020-30, our goal is to keep building an inclusive global community, to integrate internationalisation across all our activities, and to deepen existing – and forge new – international collaborations.
