Academic specialism

We are part of the Worldwide Universities Network (WUN), which comprises 19 research-intensive institutions spanning six continents. In our latest audit by the Quality Assurance Agency the University received a commendation, the highest category of praise available, for our enhancement of student learning opportunities.


Since it was established over 20 years ago, the University of Leeds International Foundation Year has seen more than 2000 students from over 75 countries successfully progress on to 120 different undergraduate degree programmes at the University. This integrated foundation year programme is therefore one of the most successful and longest running courses of its type in the UK.
