University of Leeds Speciality : Communication
programme: Communication

I think University of Leeds is an excellent University. There are many classes, student organizations, and work/internship opportunities. I was able to gain work experience as a foreign student and they have work programs available for foreign students officially as they understand how pricey it can be to live in the UK. The location of the school is right next door to the city centre of Leeds so it’s easy to go shopping, party, and get to the main transportation hub.

There are a variety of programs for Undergrad and Graduates; probably the most diverse I’ve ever seen. Once again the student organizations are amazing and is what made my time in Leeds the best. I was able to adapt into the community because of student organizations and they are available to all students. That means you to graduates! I was on the baseball team, cheer team, and apart of the Japanese society.

I was able to gain a lot of work experience from working in bars to being a VIP hostess for Manchester United Football club. These jobs are available under their Joblink program. Even if you don’t have the experience, they will provide opportunities to gain them. And the gigs pay well.

The campus is very diverse and welcoming to international students. However, I would say I didn’t like that there wasn’t many stipend or grant opportunities available. They were for UK students, which is why I gave four stars.
