- I had classmates from all over — different countries, different cultures — and honestly, it really opened up how I looked at things. Just hearing their views made me think differently.
- Supportive teaching staff and faculties.
- The classrooms were pretty modern — fully digital, with smartboards, projectors, and fast internet. Everything you needed was right there.
Dislikes
- Placement and internship support are quite limited. The university doesn’t offer guaranteed opportunities, so most of it depends on your skills and how much effort you’re willing to put in. Finding a job often comes down to being proactive and sometimes, timing plays a role too.
- Studio accommodations offered by the college can be quite costly. With living expenses going up, managing day-to-day life as a student isn’t easy. Part-time jobs do help but it can take some time to find one. Still, if you plan things well balancing up to 20 hours of work with studies is manageable.
Campus Life
- My university has two main campuses; One is the City Campus (also called the Rose Bowl) right in the city Centre, and the other is Headingley Campus, which is in a more residential area of Headingley.
- The City Campus is where most of the business courses happen, and it's well-equipped. There’s a digital library where you can borrow books and laptops, modern computer labs, career support services, quiet study areas, and even health and student support offices. For sports and fitness, students usually go to the Carnegie Sports Centre at the Headingley Campus. It’s got a gym, indoor courts, and regular fitness classes.
- In terms of student life, there’s a lot going on. There are clubs and societies for everything — photography, drama, entrepreneurship, and a really active Indian Society. I joined the badminton groups. It was a nice break from classes.
- There are also events throughout the year: Freshers Week, cultural nights, volunteering fairs, career networking events, and international student meetups. These aren’t just fun; they really help you settle in and meet people.
- Honestly, if you're willing to put yourself out there, there’s plenty to explore outside the classroom. From volunteering to student-run events, being involved in campus life makes the whole university experience way more meaningful.
Accommodation
- I went for off-campus accommodation during my MBA. Found it through SpareRoom mostly, and also joined a couple of WhatsApp and Facebook groups where students shared available rooms or looked for flatmates. That actually helped a lot—it's how I found the place I ended up living in.
- MY Rent was around £350 a month and that covered everything: WiFi, heating, electricity, water, all the basics. The house was furnished and I shared it with other students. The house where I lived was also inhabited by people form others countries - Nigerians, British, Chinese, and Indians—which kept costs manageable and made it feel less lonely too.
- One big challenge? Finding something before reaching the UK. A lot of landlords wanted in-person viewings, and not all online listings were reliable. To avoid stress, I actually booked college accommodation for the first month. Once I was in Leeds, I could look around and get a proper feel for the areas before choosing a long-term place.
- The house I picked later was about 15–20 minutes from the City Campus by bus, not too bad. A lot of Indian students stay in areas like Hyde Park, Headingley, and Burley. They're cheaper and filled with students so it’s easier to settle in.
- One thing I’d say is try not to book long-term accommodation just from looking online. Prices are often high and photos don’t always match reality. If you can talk to someone already living there or just stay somewhere temporary first, then find something better once you're there. Also always double-check listings and never pay anything upfront without seeing the place or verifying the landlord.

- Diverse and Welcoming International Community
- Supportive teaching staff and faculties
- Strong focus on employability
Dislikes
- Limited administrative response time
- Old and basic accommodation offered by the university
- Less international recognition of the university, like University of Manchester or Leeds are more recognised and known
Campus Life
- My university has two main campuses; one is the City campus (Rose Bowl), located in the city centre and the other is Headingley campus, located in headingley.
- The campuses have libraries with access to books and laptops on loan; they have a little bar too called “ The Hive”, a cafeteria, study rooms, conference rooms, access to mental health support, access to IT support, and medical support.
- The major campus festival was the fresher’s week; it holds multiple activities to welcome new students throughout the week. Even old students can be a part of it. Holi, navratri dandiya, diwali are some of the occasions celebrated at the campus by the international community.
- There are a number of extracurricular activities, like cricket and football, cultural events, and networking events called Accelerate to join and network with people. Then there are elections for Student president, etc.
Accommodation
- I found my accommodation through apps like SpareRoom. They offer properties to rent for students.
- My monthly rent was 500 GBP. It included electricity and gas bills. The property offered a personal room with a single bed, almirah, study table, shared bathroom, kitchen and living room.
- The only challenge was to find a guarantor for myself. My letting agent asked me to pay 6 months' rent upfront or find someone who can be my guarantor so that I don’t miss out on any rent payments. I chose to pay 6 months of rent upfront.
- Future students should use apps like SpareRoom to find accommodation; they can also visit real estate agent’s offices. But the best is online apps. Make sure to know what is being promised before finalising any property and ensure there are no hidden charges.
- My accommodation was 15 mins away by walk from my campus. Most Indian students either stay in Trinity Accommodation hall or near hyde park in private houses.

- Quality Teaching and Education: The teaching methods consisted of lectures and seminars, both of which were really engaging and informative. The modules under my course were absolutely simulating both in terms of academic richness and vocational perspective.
- Research Driven Atmosphere: Most instructors heavily relied on current trends and evidence-based practices when it came to teaching and assignments, it really helped me to skim recent scientific literature and critically appraise them which is transferable for my professional journey.
- Infrastructure: My university and school of sport (Carnegie School of Sport) ranks within Top 5 sports school when it comes to research contribution mainly due its state of the art infrastructure which consists of highly equipped labs for practical sessions and aesthetically pleasing lecture halls with great facilities like 24/7 wifi access, access to various scientific journals both available online and offline respectively.
Dislikes
- High Tuition fees: Although compared to different universities for the same course, the tuition fees is usually higher but still tuition fees along with high accommodation costing is something that is really an issue to think about.
- Placements: Most universities in the UK, like mine, don't guarantee you with placements, even though we pay such a high amount of tuition fees, but landing a Job is fairly on one's skills, hard work and luck.
- Scholarships: However, I have been a top student with high grades in my bachelors additionally with my masters where I had received distinction and Dean's prize for Academic Excellence there are far less options for me to secure any. scholarships/funding for my PhD which really sucks.
Campus Life
- We had two campuses, one located in the City centre called City Campus fairly accessible and the other one was Headingley Campus based in Headingley with mostly. it, hospitality and sports related courses.
- We had all facilities such as library, sports facilities, and medical services based on the both campuses.
- Major events would be fresher's fair, fresher's party and monthly/weekly events run by global village community during festivals etc.
- We had loads of opportunities within the extracurricular activities such as sports, cultural events, student organizations including student union elections, parties and relevant. events. with diwali, holi and navratri.
Accommodation
- I found my accommodation through a recommendation made by a college senior who has lived their previously when she was a student at my University.
- My monthly rent inclusive of all bills was 149 GBP/Week or 630 GBP/month, I did not face any challenges finding an accommodation.. I booked it in June 2023 after I received my. CAS letter.
- It was 15 mins (1mi) away from my City campus where 45% of classes were held and 35mins walking (2.5mi) 15 mins from buses; from my accommodation.
- To be honest, my accommodation had a lot of Indian students too, but most of them live in Headingley, Woodhouse, Hyde park areas with house share facilities.

- Huge campus with loads of amenities, a great gym and great cafes all around.
- Great staff who are always more than happy to help.
- Loads of opportunities for social sport and other events to socialize.
Dislikes
- Not enough accommodations on campus.
- Lack of financial help
- Frequent problems with the WIFI and computers in the library
Campus Life
- My college has 2 campuses. There's the city campus and the headingley campus.
- There are loads of facilities available on campus. There's cafes, gyms, astro pitches, indoor pitches, tennis, badminton and basketball courts and much more. Not aware of much of the social stuff on campus but there are plenty. Loads of sports teams to join that play competitively in the BUCS league.
Accommodation
- I found my accommodation through the university portal. Then for my second year accommodation I got a rented house from a student letting agency.
- Again monthly rent depends on your accommodation and various external factors. My rent currently is £450 per month.
- For getting an accommodation it depends on your preferences. If you want to stay close to the uni, probably on uni campus it will be more expensive but convenient. If you do not mind staying away from uni you can get great houses for cheap but you will spend a bit more on travel. My current accommodation is around 4-5 kms from my uni.

- I like the support provided at our university for all students.
Dislikes
- I don’t dislike anything about our university.
Campus Life
Campus life and the support available to students by the university is amazing. I was never disappointed. For every problem that I faced, there was someone or something at the university that provided support.
Accommodation
Accommodation costs can vary depending on preferences. I stayed in the one which cost me £523/month. It had an en suite bathroom. The kitchen and living room were shared between 5 people.

- Support from the staff is great and the course structure is good as well. There were no cons. The faculty's guidance on how to complete your projects really helped the international students as the pattern is new to us.
Campus Life
The library is very well organised and easy to navigate and the space is huge. There is a facility to book a room for meetings as well for students to work on the group projects.
Accommodation
I decided to stay in Huddersfield because Leeds is a bit expensive. My accommodation name was IQ Castings and I had an ensuite room with a shared kitchen. There was a game room, gym and laundry area available for all the residents to use and a parking space as well with additional cost. The cost of parking was £117 per week.

- I liked the course structure overall. The HOD of the department was someone whom I was following since a very long time, and I was very inspired by his concepts, theories and his teaching method as well. And that was the main reason I chose leeds beckett. The HOD was Rudiger Theilmann, once I took the admission, I developed a bond with Rudiger as well during my course and found out that I was right about his teaching methods. I learnt a lot from him specifically while I was there, Infact am still learning from him after graduating as well. If someone is looking for PR and strategic communications course I highly recommend Leeds beckett
- As I mentioned earlier, it was a great experience I had in Leeds Beckett, the curriculum was totally updated with the industry standard, we had a lot of industrial exposures as well as research opportunities as well. We worked with UKs biggest PR agency PRCA and CIPR. We also collaborated with sheffield hallam university for industry presentations during our course.
Dislikes
- Nothing as such, except that the city campus didn't have a ground.
Campus Life
Campus life was great, there were many events and chances of participation for us during our course.
Accommodation
I got a studio apartment from the university it self. As I got a scholarship for my accommodation as well. It was a studio apartment with my own unit (bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and toilet). The rent for the apartment was 800 GBP Per month (Including wifi and electricity and washing bills as well) I know it sounds expensive and it is expensive as well if you are paying for your rent. If you are not paying for your rent and got a scholarship then it might be affordable to you. But I suggest if you are going abroad, go for shared apartments or apartments which are little far from city centre, but in walking distance, so that you can save a lot in transport as well as in rent. As accommodations little far from city centre are much cheaper.
Accommodation
365 pounds for sharing accommodation with a common kitchen, and living hall.
My admission was in pending with other universities due to a lack of LORs. but in LBU I got admission without LOR so I have chosen it.
Accommodation
I have opted for private students accomodation. It nice here and they give you free gifts time to time with some promotional event.
I liked thia University as it in tier 2 University. I was impressed by its world ranking (100-300) which was great in my budget. It has great footprint in world market.
Accommodation
No, 6 rooms in one flat, ensuite rooms available and all-inclusive bills.
The 2nd best university program in the country.
