a place to grow! more than just a degree.

Tips: The university offers a great student experience, but you have to be proactive and step out of your comfort zone to make the most of opportunities. Have an open mind, and try learning from people and situations to grow personally. Keep engaging in extracurriculars to have many things on your CV!

Likes (Student Life): So many things are going on in the university, across societies and clubs, that you would always have new skills to learn and, more importantly, never get bored. Plus, it's in the middle of England, so no place is too far to go. You will find opportunities to meet incredible people, and it depends on you to make the most out of those opportunities.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): The jobs are reducing, and because of that, more students are completing them than ever. You need to have previous experience to get a good job. It's becoming a bit hard to get jobs as an international student because of visa issues, and the situation gets worse with an education in graduate visa duration.

Global Supply Chain Management MSc - Batch of 2025

3.4

Good uni but no uni life.

Tips: The university has a good ranking but lacks a lot of facilities. Very few interaction activities. Facilities are decent enough, but I would say there are no activities where you could connect with other students across campus. Also, I personally felt 1 year is way too little to complete your M.Sc. You don't get to explore very much.

Likes (Indian Food): The food options are plentiful enough, and in the supermarket too you get almost everything and of the best quality. The city is easy to travel in, as it is not a very big city and mostly students are in the city. You get a good crowd nearby, and almost all the brands are also available. All areas have a supermarket nearby where you can shop for everything easily.

Dislikes (Internships): No internships are available over there, nor any support from the university. There is a student support department, but they could just show you the openings, which are very difficult to get. Post-study, also, the job market has crashed very badly. It's very difficult to find part-time work as well.

MSc Economics - Batch of 2024

A chapter which transformed me into who I am today

Tips: If you're heading to Leeds, you need to show up ready to hit the ground running from day one. You can't just coast through this—you genuinely have to be proactive, get yourself to every single lecture, and take the seminars and mock exams completely seriously if you want to stay afloat. The workload demands that you build a solid daily reading habit early on, otherwise, the massive amount of material will pile up and bury you before you even realize it. Look, it's a massive grind. But if you actually put the work in, it pays off big time and leaves you completely set up for whatever you want to do next.

An honest review of my year at University of Leeds

Tips: Look, the University of Leeds is a solid institution, and there are plenty of chances to push yourself out of your comfort zone and really test your limits. But you need to hear this upfront: it is entirely on you to actually go out and hunt those opportunities down, because nobody is going to spoon-feed them to you. Those extra initiatives are the exact experiences that actually make your time here worthwhile. Aside from that, everything else—like the lectures, the campus facilities, and the daily coursework—is pretty standard uni stuff. My one big letdown was the crowd; I came here expecting my peers to really challenge me and push me intellectually, but that just didn't happen. Honestly, it was a bit disappointing on that front, so just be prepared to find your own drive.

Data Analytics and Human Resource Management MSc - Batch of 2026

3.8

I recommend university of leeds

Tips: 1. Do not expect anything such as part-time jobs or full-time jobs to be handed over to you 2. Yes, I had a 6K GBP scholarship. 3. University, yes—but nothing prepared me for England's cold weather, especially in Dec.-Feb. I wish I had picked a warmer place with some sun. Having said that, the weather is relatively better in summer.

Likes (Indian Food): Leeds is a beautiful city and has multiple options for Indian cuisine. I do cook for myself. It's still a struggle if you have to eat outside often; every student must learn how to do simple cooking, or they might burn their finger. So finish some cooking sessions with your family before arriving.

Dislikes (Part time work): This is a huge campus; many of the published jobs get closed immediately, and many of us didn't succeed in getting a job. While a few of the students have gotten part-time jobs within uni, this is a gamble. One needs to be realistic about the market scenario.
