What our students say...
My time at Leicester has been the most enjoyable and fulfilling 3 years of my life. I have met some of the most amazing people here both as students and as lecturers, as you feel welcomed from the moment you step into the building. Being part of two departments is beneficial due to the amount of knowledge you can gain plus being able to get expert advice from two separate disciplines. All the field trips have been helpful, educational, inspirational and most of all enjoyable... I couldn’t have asked for a better time at University.
