About University of Leicester

The University of Leicester was founded as Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland University College in 1921. The site for the University was donated by a local businessman, Thomas Fielding Johnson, in order to create a living memorial for all local people who made sacrifices during the First World War. This is reflected in the University's motto, Ut vitam habeant – 'so that they may have life'.

The University offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses, many with industry options. As one of the UK’s most affordable cities for students, Leicester offers outstanding value for students' future, with affordable living, excellent teaching, and generous scholarships for international students.

The University of Leicester is a leading UK university committed to international excellence through the creation of world-changing research and high-quality, inspirational teaching. Leicester is consistently one of the most socially inclusive of the UK’s leading universities, with a long-standing commitment to providing fairer and equal access to higher education.

Guaranteed Student Accommodation: Any new undergraduate student who applies for university accommodation before 1 September of their year of entry to university is guaranteed to have a room with the University for the academic year!
