Accommodation

Once you have decided which university to go to and organised your funding, the next most important decision that you will need to make is deciding where you are going to be living for the next year, as your choice will determine not only your study environment but also who your flatmates will be. Most students choose between university-managed accommodation

Leeds Beckett University has a variety of student accommodation available ranging in price, shared or ensuite bathrooms, and contract length. All of the university-managed accommodation has free Wi-Fi, and some also have a TV in the lounge area. It’s important to look at all the accommodation individually to make sure you make the best decision for you.

If you want to get in touch with the accommodation team for more information or any point whilst you and living there you can email them at accommodation@leedsbeckett.ac.uk. or call them on 0113 812 5972.


Childcare

It is really important for students and staff to be able to get on with their work and studies at Leeds Beckett University, which is why they have plenty of childcare options.

To make sure all students have equal opportunities whilst at university and can get on with their studies Leeds Beckett University has a disability team available to offer students with disabilities advice and support. They can help students with mental health conditions, a physical impairment, a hearing or visual impairment, or a specific learning difficulty such as dyslexia, dyspraxia or dyscalculia.

Fees and Finance

Going to university will put a huge amount of financial pressure on a student, but you should think of this as investing in your future. To help with the costs most students have a student loan to cover their tuition fees, and a maintenance loan to help cover their accommodation and living costs.

Health

When you start at university one of the first things you should do is register with a doctor and dentist near your term-time address rather than to wait until you get sick or have to trek all the way home. Students can also register at the Student Medical Practice behind the city campus of Leeds Beckett University.

There are also plenty of dentists in and around the city centre that students can register with. Leeds also has a Dental Institute where you can volunteer for free dental care from a dental student.

Student complaints and academic appeals

At some point during their studies, students may find themselves wanting to make a complaint.
