Welcome to Leicester
Welcome Citizens of Change
Welcome - I am delighted you will be joining us this September.
You join Leicester at an historical epoch – during our centenary year. We were founded with a mission to create a better world. Our aim is to equip you with more than a degree – with the courage to question, the strength to change, and the passion to discover. As global citizens, you are the future – our hope for a better tomorrow. Above all, I hope you have a wonderful time at Leicester. Be yourself and express your individuality. We’ll support you every step of the way. We want you to pursue the unknown, go beyond expectation and make a lasting impact. I wish you all the best with your endeavours.
Whether you have arranged travel, are already in the UK, still overseas or are studying remotely, we are here to support you. Please keep an eye on your email inbox, as we will share important updates with you this way, and our HeadStart programme gives you resources to help you prepared over the summer, right up to your first class.
You are now one of our Citizens of Change. Together we can make a difference. I look forward to meeting you soon.
