THE ADMISSIONS PROCESS EXPLAINED - FOR APPLICANTS AND PARENTS

We appreciate that choosing a course and a place to study can be a daunting experience and how important it is to make the right choice. The best way to ensure this is to attend one of our open days where you can meet both our staff and students and get a real feel for the place, learn more about how you will study and the wealth of opportunities available to you if you choose Leeds. 

 

  • Applications for all undergraduate degree courses are submitted through UCAS. UCAS provides additional information specifically for parents.
  • For students with a disability or special learning needs, you will find it useful to look at information and advice provided by the University's Disability Service.
  • Once you have been offered a place by the School of Geography you and your parents will be invited to an open day. Once students have accepted a place at Leeds, they should apply for accommodation. Leeds offers a wide range of accommodation, both catered and self-catering.
  • Find out about the financial support that is available to you here.
  • It is best to ensure that you are in the country on A Level results day; if you do not quite achieve the required grades then please contact our admissions staff to discuss your options. You may still be offered a place on the course you applied for, depending on your exam performance, and availability of places after the results have been received. Alternatively, you may be offered a place on a different course. If we are unable to offer you a place at Leeds, you may still be able to find a suitable course through the UCAS Clearing system.
  • If you are successful the University will send you a letter in August confirming your place and giving details of the University Induction Week. In early September you will be sent a 'Welcome Pack' which will tell you everything that you need to know about arriving, living, registering and studying here at Leeds
  • Health and welfare at Leeds
