The University of Leicester is a leading UK University with a proud past and an exciting future. We deliver high quality undergraduate, postgraduate and professional education and create research that has impact internationally. Founded as a university college in 1921 and granted its Royal Charter in 1957, it is a government-financed institution with a leading international reputation for teaching and research. It has over 17,000 students. Of the 8,500 full-time students, 10% come from outside the European Union, from a total of more than 60 countries.
The discovery of DNA Genetic Fingerprinting and pioneering space exploration are our most famous achievements, but our world class research stretches across the arts, science, medicine, law, education, biological sciences and social sciences.
Leicester is special. It is a leading University yet it attracts students from a wide social and ethnic spectrum and delivers one of the highest student completion rates in the country. In September 2003 the Sunday Times wrote that of just five universities with a higher completion rate "none approach the diversity of Leicester's intake".
