Offer Holders: Discover Leicester

Welcome to the University of Leicester

We don't want you to miss out on the benefits of attending a University of Leicester Offer Holder Day, which is why for our 6 May event we've moved everything online.

In these strange and uncertain times we know that one of your principal concerns is how the unprecedented cancellation of exams across the UK will affect your University application. Rest assured that the offer we made you still stands and we very much want to welcome you here in the autumn.

The Government is working out a system for calculated grades which will ensure that no student is disadvantaged, and we will let you know details when this is confirmed.

Discover our City

Leicester is a city packed with vibrant festivals and events, attractions, museums and arts and culture. To give you a flavour of what you could experience during your time at the University, here’s some insider tips for you …

Accommodation

Whether you want to stay in the heart of the city or enjoy The Village life, our student accommodation suits all tastes and budgets. With plenty of social spaces, our accommodation provides the perfect opportunity to meet up with fellow Year One students and make friends for life.

Campus

The best thing about a digital overview of our campus, is that we’re not reliant on the weather. So sit back, and explore our campus where you will find out more about the library, social spaces, teaching buildings and the Students’ Union.

Finance

Effectively managing your money is an essential part of being a Leicester student. We know you will have a lot of questions, and we’re here to answer them. Well – virtually, digitally here.

Parents

We can’t forget the parents and guardians. This is an anxious and exciting time for you too. Here are some tips for you... get ready to be on standby with advice on how to cook for new housemates, how to turn on a washing machine (unless washing is saved for visits back home) and waving goodbye after you’ve dropped them off during Welcome Week (make sure you have tissues at the ready).

Student Support

Whilst the thought of moving away from the parents is exciting, we also appreciate it can be a big step. We’re here to help you, from before you arrive until after you graduate. All the advice, support and assistance you might need. Face to face or online. Obviously, today we’ll be taking that second option.
