Come and see for yourself

There is no substitute for personal experience. We believe that seeing first-hand what the School, University, and campus have to offer will allow you to absorb what it is actually like to be a student here.

On an Open Day or UCAS Visit Day you will be able to talk to current students and lecturers from the School of English, tour the campus and accommodation, and learn what the Leicester experience is all about.
