DMU

University of Leicester

University of Leicester offers more than 150 different degrees across 30 subjects. It delivers research inspired education across the sciences, humanities, law, medicine, the arts and business with some of its best known achievements including the invention of genetic fingerprinting and the discovery of Richard III. With its commitment to provision of work experience opportunities, most students have the opportunity to have an optional year abroad in one of 27 other countries. You may have heard a lot about the University of Leicester recently as it has been making headlines as the only university to have won a Times Higher Education award in seven consecutive years!

UOL

Most popular student areas:

Highfields

This area is conveniently placed for students both at University of Leicester and De Montfort University as well as being within walking distance of the city centre. As it’s in the inner-city centre, the majority of this accommodation is terraced houses.

Stoneygate

This area is right next to the city centre meaning you are a stone’s throw away from some great shopping facilities. Student accommodation here is slightly more expensive but it is justified with the quality, meaning you won’t be disappointed.

Westcotes

Known as the ‘West End’ of Leicester, this area is very popular among students due to its lively nightlife and close proximity to both universities. Even though it is a smaller location it is actually very spacious due to being developed much later than the other land in the centre of the city.
