Open days at Leeds Beckett University

Leeds Beckett University, or LBU as it is sometimes known, focuses on its students getting plenty of real-world experience. The university offers work placements with leading UK and international companies and ranks very highly for its Speech and Language courses and Information Technology degrees.  

The university has a strong focus on sustainability and has been recognised in the People & Planet University League for its environmental and ethical performance. Only 1% of their waste goes to landfill and 8% of campus electricity is generated by solar panels.

The Carnegie School of Sport at the Headingley Campus is a new £45m state-of-the-art facility that offers a range of sports-related facilities. There are also networking spaces, a cafe, informal teaching space, and learning support services.  

The City Campus offers a range of facilities, including a library, computer labs, and a student union. The library is open 24/7 during term time and provides collaborative spaces and subject-based librarians are there to help you with your research.  

Why go to an open day?  

When you attend an open day, you'll get a gut feeling about the university. Open days will help give you clarity if you're not sure what course to choose. You'll be able to visit different departments and chat with lecturers and other department staff, there are often subject talks too. You'll also get to speak to current students. They can tell you whether they're satisfied with the teaching, what the local nightlife is like, what the best halls of residence are – pretty much anything. Don't forget to look at the accommodation for yourself and make time to walk around the surrounding area to see if you like it.  

Where is it located?  

Leeds Beckett is made up of two campuses. The city campus is in the centre of Leeds and about a 15-minute walk from the main bus and train station.  

The Headingley Campus is a green space just outside of the city and is easily reached by public transport with regular direct buses into the city. It's a 10- or 20-minute walk from local train stations depending on whether you use Burnley Park or Headingley station. It has its own small local community with bars, shops and restaurants.  

A multicultural identity, a thriving arts scene and a rich array of music, food and sport are what you can expect living in Leeds. It has developed a prominent student culture over the years. This, alongside its affordable reputation, is why over 70,000 students call Leeds home.
