Our campuses
Both of our campuses have fantastic locations.
Our City Campus is right in the heart of Leeds, with some of the best shopping and nightlife in the country less than a five minute walk away.
Our Headingley Campus is just under three miles from our City Campus, and is just ten minutes’ walk from one of the best known student areas in the country. Headingley, with its countless bars, pubs and restaurants, is a great place to meet friends between lectures.
History
Our Headingley Campus has a rich and diverse history that goes back to Roman times. For centuries our campus was a family owned estate, which played host to visitors such as Oscar Wilde and Winston Churchill.
In contrast, our City Campus has a much more recent history with numerous iconic buildings helping to define the skyline of one of the most dynamic cities in the country.Headingley Campus
Our Headingley Campus is set in picturesque grounds. Many of our buildings look out onto the Acre, a grassy expanse that lends itself to snowman building in the winter and impromptu football matches in the summer.
At the head of the Acre sits the magnificent James Graham building, which houses both the library and the stunning Gandhi Hall. The library is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week throughout the year.
