Central Campus

Central campus is one of the things that makes the University of Leicester special. Students love that central campus is located just a short walk away from the city centre, but far enough away that the University has its own purpose-built spaces.

As well as academic learning and study spaces, there are lots of places to hang out with friends, grab a bite to eat or take part in sport, whether that be in the Danielle Sports Centre, Students’ Union or on the green expanse of Victoria Park just next door to central campus, on a sunny day.

The best way to experience central campus is at an Open Day or Campus Tour.

Job Prospects

Become a citizen of success. Throughout a student’s time at Leicester, they’ll have multiple opportunities to gain valuable experience by working with and for companies and organisations that directly impact people’s lives. It’s not just from extra-curricular activities and opportunities such as volunteering, industry placements or the chance to study abroad – but employability is imbedded directly into University of Leicester degrees, giving every student the chance to gain transferable skills which employers are looking for, in addition to their specialised subject knowledge and experience.

The University’s Careers and Employability team supports students in securing employment and experience. As well as the Career Hub based in the David Wilson Library, the team offers 1-2-1 appointments, application and CV advice, and mock interview and assessment centres. The best part is, the University is still here after graduation by offering lifetime access to the careers platform.

Campus Life

Student Life

Life at Leicester is more than just what happens in lectures. Our campus is small enough to feel like home and big enough to branch out and experience new things. Wherever students walk around campus, they’ll come across cosy corners, green patches, and other spaces to meet up with friends, take time out, or get ahead on their assignments. At Leicester, students can shape their own experience the way they want.

Students have the freedom and support to express themselves – it’s the best way to ensure success and manage their wellbeing. They can join a student group, make use of our first-rate sports facilities, get involved with the arts, cheer along on the sidelines, or all of the above. Either way, getting involved in campus life is worth it, as students will make some great memories – and even greater friends.

Tuition Fees, Scholarships and Bursaries

Tuition Fees

Currently, full-time undergraduate degrees are £9,250 a year (for UK students). This may rise with inflation, so it’s best to check the website for the latest fees and funding options.

Students may be eligible for a student loan to help with their tuition and living costs. The amount they receive is means-tested, but they could be eligible for additional funding depending on their circumstance. If a student currently lives in England, they will need to apply for these loans through Student Finance England.
