University of Leicester

Powered by world-class research, the University of Leicester delivers research-inspired education across the Sciences, Humanities, Law, Medicine, the Arts and Business, with staff and students collaborating to create, share and apply knowledge to change the world. We are a world-leading, diverse and inclusive university based in the UK’s most multicultural city. At Leicester, our students are Citizens of Change, unconfined by academic boundaries. The innovative approach you will take towards your studies brings together the sciences and the arts to inform the latest conversations and provide solutions to the most complex of issues. You will be given the space and support in which to be creative and develop both personally and professionally.

As a new postgraduate student, you're guaranteed an offer of University-managed accommodation if you apply by 1 September in the year that you start your course. Our postgraduate accommodation is all in the locations we call The City. These are purpose-built self-catered blocks within ten minutes’ walk of campus, city centre and train station and include 24-hour support, student residential advisors and a packed social calendar available to all students. In offering you a room that matches your requirements, we will try to group postgraduates together within the various locations. 

Leicester is a student friendly, affordable, multicultural city in the heart of the UK with fantastic shops, cafés, bars, clubs and theatres, plus world-class festivals and a great sporting reputation. Beyond the city is a county of beautiful countryside.
