Overview
A programme of heavy campus investment is upgrading the student experience at Leeds Beckett, which occupies two sites in Leeds: the city campus adjoining the main campus of the University of Leeds to form a huge precinct, and a further campus set in 100 acres of parkland in Headingley, home to teacher trainees and the university’s outstanding sports provision for which it is well known. Sporting excellence extends from inside the classroom to beyond: the British 800m women’s record holder Keely Hodgkinson, who graduated in criminology from the university this summer, is just the latest Leeds Beckett superstar. Degrees are strongly vocational and students benefit from 5,000 work placements with local employers offered to the university each year. The university is one of the bigger providers of degree apprenticeships and is popular with local students from Yorkshire, who make up around 45% of the UK intake. There was a near-record number of applications last year. The university seeks to make its courses available to the widest possible audience through extensive outreach activities in schools and colleges across the region.

Paying the bills
Leeds Beckett has responded to the cost of living crisis by removing some of the hidden costs of studying. This includes providing graduation gowns and caps free of charge this year, absorbing the cost of course field trips and even timetabling some teaching to support students needing to work while studying. Students can also apply to a hardship fund for help with accommodation, childcare and studying costs. The value of awards is between £100 and £3,500. There are a relatively small number of mostly means-tested scholarships on offer and bursaries for carers, care leavers and students estranged from their families. There is also bursary support of between £200 and £1,000 for low-income full-time students on work placements. There is a good stock of university-owned residential accommodation. Prices begin at £4,945 for a 43-week contract, which is around £400 more than the cheapest rooms at the neighbouring University of Leeds.

What’s new?
Students are reaping the rewards of a rolling programme of structural developments on both the city and Headingley campuses. The new clinical skills suite in the school of health mimics a hospital ward and includes beds, equipment and simulation manikins to give nursing, sport and exercise therapy and physiotherapy students an authentic learning experience. On the Headingley campus, a teaching and research building has opened at the Carnegie School of Sport. Two environmental chambers, a sports nutrition teaching kitchen and a covered, rooftop 60-metre athletics track are part of the new facilities. Back on the city campus, the new Leeds School of Arts building hosts more than 2,500 students working on film, television, technology, sound, music, drama, dance and fashion courses. They get to use industry-standard kit throughout with a professional recording studio, 180-seat theatre, editing suites, and studios for television and film available to them. The vocational accent on degrees at Leeds Beckett is evident in some of the new degrees being offered this September and next. From September 2024, the university is running degrees in acting, sports coaching, youth work, childhood studies, education studies and psychology in education, while this month five new applied sports studies degrees admit their first students, with specialisms in athletics, cricket, football, netball and rugby. Two new degree apprenticeships in youth work and digital marketing will bring the number of apprentices on campus to 1,200.

Admissions, teaching and student support
The university runs bespoke outreach programmes in Leeds to raise university aspirations among Year 10 black African and black Caribbean children and Year 10 and 11 girls from a South Asian background. Overall, its Access and Widening Participation team works with 10,000 children a year in more than 150 schools and colleges. A progression module, worth 12 UCAS points to those who complete it, targets schools with a high proportion of disadvantaged children, and the university’s contextual offers scheme applies across most courses. Students from under-represented groups are well supported once they arrive with the careers team offering them opportunities throughout the year to help career development through learning skills, gaining experiences and connecting with local inclusive employers. Although there are no compulsory induction sessions covering sexual consent and racial, sexual and social tolerance, the university strives to create the right culture on campus. It works with the students’ union to promote positive mental and physical health and has reporting mechanisms for all forms of harassment.
