We welcome international students
The University of Leeds is a truly international university. We have links with over 600 institutions worldwide and up to 5,000 international students study with us each year.
We are one of the UK's top universities, world-famous for our teaching and research and situated in the heart of a vibrant and multicultural city.
As a leader in food science and nutrition teaching and research, students from all over the world choose to study with us. In fact, our School is the leader from within Leeds University for its intake of international students. The Department has taught international students from all over the world including:
Sri Lanka, Senegal, Russia, Peru, Colombia, Lebanon, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Mauritius, Ireland, Italy, Germany, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Maldives, North America, Mexico, India, China, Ghana, Nigeria, Spain, Malaysia, France, Singapore, Thailand, Pakistan, Iran, Greece, Cyprus, UK Brazil, Poland, Turkey, Iceland and Japan.
The University has a dedicated International Centre and will provide support and advice throughout your time at Leeds University. The centre can provide help from managing your money to your health and welfare.
Adapting to life in a new country can be both exciting and challenging. Finding somewhere to live where you feel comfortable, will help you settle in quickly.
Leeds has plenty of accommodation for students, representing good value for money and reflecting the fact that Leeds has a lower cost of living than London and much of the south of England.
We guarantee all international postgraduate students a place in our accommodation for the year as long as you are paying fees at the international rate and you are new to Leeds.
There are also a host of events organised by the International Centre including day trips to historic towns in the UK - a great chance to meet new friends.
