Each year, there are more than 1000 students from outside the United Kingdom studying the full range of subjects and degrees courses available. The International Office will provide all the information you need about applying for a course at the University of Leicester and can advise on Scholarships, English Language programmes and acceptability of international qualifications. Representatives of the University visit many different countries each year to advise prospective students by attending Education Fairs, visiting schools and colleges or holding presentations at British Council offices.

A member of the Welfare Office is specifically responsible for advising international students on issues such as visas, employment, finance and cultural adjustment.

This option is available in either the fall or spring and if you choose to come in the spring we have included a guided study tour to Europe. Alternatively you could choose the 'No Frills Leicester Semester' designed for students who want the convenience of paying one price for their academic programme, accommodation and some meals but who prefer the freedom of taking trips in the United Kingdom or in Europe at a time that suits you. Both options provide excellent value for money and as such have limited accommodation choice some of which may be in shared rooms.You don't have to go 'all-inclusive' if you prefer to pay for your accommodation and tuition separately you can.
