Leicester, University of
All departments assessed by the Quality Assurance Agency over the last four years have been rated as excellent. No other university can equal this success. This complements the strong research ratings achieved in the Higher Education Funding Council for England's (HEFCE) Research Assessment Exercise. At Leicester, research and teaching go hand in hand providing students with the opportunity to work with experts at the forefront of knowledge in their respective fields.
The University has one of the highest student completion rates and exceeds the benchmark set by HEFCE. Our graduates have gone into careers as varied as medicine, engineering, financial services, law, computing, sales and marketing, scientific research, public service and teaching.
Many of our graduates have chosen to go on to further study both here and elsewhere. In 2001, 2002 & 2003 the Financial Times placed Leicester at the top of their league for taught postgraduate education. The table is based on levels of provision at UK universities.
The University works closely with business and industry and, particularly in the fields of Medicine, Biological Sciences, Physical Sciences and Engineering, has established links with company research and development programmes. We have an international reputation for research in a wide range of areas including archaeology, English local history, criminology, sport and society, and mass communications.
