Leeds
Study
Visitor’s shouldn’t be alarmed at the number of students filling the streets of Leeds. After all, Leeds is home to two Universities with a total population over 124,000, 10 higher and further education colleges with a combined population of 78,000, and dozens of primary and secondary schools. The city is reputed for having high academic standards for its incoming students. The structure of the British education system, from primary school to University, differs greatly from most other education systems elsewhere in the world. It is advisable to contact your respective international office for further questions or enquiries.
Depending on your faculty, it may not be a surprise to have very few hours of actual class time a week. University modules are largely focused on independent learning, where students are expected to invest a good amount of time reading primary and secondary sources, doing research and attending seminars for each of their modules. Professors and tutors are often readily available to help students with any problems or concerns and the Universities offer a large amount of student services to provide aid for students. Each respective educational institution is proud of their respective achievements and graduates and students enjoy taking part in friendly rivalry between the schools.
