After a few years at Leeds, I’ve realized that life at university can get a little overwhelming sometimes…maybe you feel like staying in your room all day, but it’s important that you don’t!

You don’t have to do everything at once...start small and build. In my final year at Leeds, I’m looking to say yes more! And I invite you to do the same, as it could open a door you never expected!

A Leeds experience is about more than your degree. It’s your platform to grow beyond your comfort zone and discover what you’re capable of.

If you want to know more about how I plan to maximize my last year and regret nothing! Get in touch 😊

Freshers’ Week is all about meeting new people, and sometimes, your closest friendships come from the places you least expect!

From your course and societies to accommodation, events, or simply sitting next to someone and starting a conversation, there are so many ways to meet people at Leeds.

One favourite place to meet new friends is Global Café! 🌎☕️

Every Monday, students and postgraduate researchers can drop by Common Ground at Leeds University Union to relax, enjoy free refreshments, and have a chat with people from all around the world. The hosts are there to welcome newcomers, so you can turn up on your own and still have someone to talk to.

No booking needed, just turn up!

Who knows? That random conversation might become a friendship that lasts far beyond Freshers’ Week!!

Follow a ‘Day in the Life’ of our student ambassador, Presto, spending a summer in Leeds conducting an independent research project as a Laidlaw Scholar.
The Laidlaw Leadership and Research Programme is a fully funded programme for talented and motivated undergraduates to become skilled researchers and ethical leaders. The program has a strong networking component, being a global opportunity with scholars from universities across the US, UK, Canada, and Hong Kong.
It’s a unique opportunity for undergraduate students to undertake research first hand early in their academic journey, which has been a rewarding way for Presto to explore academic passions outside of his degree.
