Our global reach

There are many benefits of working at the University for staff from within and outside of the UK including our beautiful campus with its wealth of facilities available to staff, the multicultural diversity of the City of Leicester and the fantastic transport links to the rest of the country and beyond.

“Given our city’s history and ‘super diversity’, it is in many ways the perfect place for a university community – and this is reflected through the representation of ethnicities and nationalities across our staff and student communities. The University has been shaped by the diverse make-up of its locality – and has in turn shaped the city in which it is located – and this informs our approach to research, education, and engagement with our local community.”
