University of Leeds
speciality: English Language & Literature

I studied English Language and Literature at Leeds, and what I liked most was how naturally the course pulled me into thinking differently about everyday language. The course itself was great. The School of English is a beautiful building to work in and modules were varied. The downsides were mostly practical, eg popular modules filled up fast, and during deadline season finding a seat in Edward Boyle Library felt like a competitive sport.

The campus itself is stunning, particularly in spring and having Hyde Park right there made everything feel lighter. Great student life, with cheap local pubs, and even a bar at the Student Union. Overall, Leeds gave me a degree I’m proud of and a student experience I’d happily relive.

The professors are highly prepared and willing to help. A few strikes during the year slowed some procedures down but they had good reasons to go on strike. The uni offers Lots of services, I used to receive emails Regarding job offers, mental health tips, events and just news about uni and what was going on around us, and I really appreciated that. I enjoyed the student Life, both on campus and in the city. The Student Union gives you plenty of opportunities and places to work and socialize and study. I’m studying English and French and loved all the English classes, although I think we spoke too much English in the French ones. However, the language tutors are Young and well prepared, so most of the conversation classes were fun.
