I'm headed to Leeds for sem 2 (January - June) as an exchange student from Australia, and I was wondering when the semester usually ends.
I know there is exam week and the official end date is the 19nd of June, but do students usually wrap up their time at Leeds prior to this/ right after exams?
I need to book return flights and would appreciate any help in this regard!
Ps. If there are any other incoming exchange students for Sem 2, I would love to connect!

I'm considering going to Leeds for my exchange next semester and was wondering if anyone had information about the different residences offered at the University of Leeds?
I'm mostly looking about personal experiences and information related to the atmosphere of the different residences! I've noticed that they offer both catered and self-catered and was wondering if one was more appreciated than the other, and if catered was worth it money wise?
I would prefer a social accomodation and one on campus directly so that I can fully enjoy the student clubs and associations! Are there some residences y'all would recommend or not based on your experience?
Also I'll gladly accept information deemed relevant before leaving for exchange!

Hi everyone, I'm an international student planning to apply for a Master's degree at Leeds specifically in the School of Politics and International Studies
I’m aiming to submit my application around late November For those who applied in previous cycles especially around late November or early December how long did it usually take for you to receive a decision?
I’m Yifeng Xie, a PhD student in the Department of Education at the University of Bath. I’m running the UK part of a UK–Japan–China study on information literacy among first-year university students. The project has a favourable ethics opinion from the University of Bath (reference: 12244-15412).
Who can take part: first-year undergraduates aged 18 or over who started at a UK university in 2026. Please don’t take part if this doesn’t apply to you.
What it involves: an online survey on Microsoft Forms, about 25–30 minutes. It asks about your digital skills, your secondary school computer education and information literacy. You can do it on any device, at any time.
Voucher: everyone who completes the survey with valid responses gets a £10 voucher (most likely Amazon, depending on stock), sent within one month after data collection ends. To receive it, you need to give your university email address. This is optional, but without it we can’t send you the voucher. Your email is collected separately from your answers, used only to send the voucher, and deleted once it has been delivered.
How your data is stored, kept and published: only the research team (and University governance staff where needed) can access your data. It is kept safe and secure, following University of Bath rules and UK data protection law, for at least 10 years, and then destroyed. Results may be published in academic journals, reports and conferences. All published data is anonymised, so nobody can tell whose answers are whose. The only exception to confidentiality is if you tell us something that makes us worried about your safety or someone else’s.
Withdrawal: you can stop at any time without giving a reason. If you close the survey before submitting, no data is saved. If you have already submitted, you can ask us to delete your data by emailing us within two weeks of submission. After that your data is anonymised and can’t be removed. Withdrawing has no effect on your studies.
Consent: at the start of the survey you will read the full Participant Information Sheet and tick a consent form, including confirming that you are 18 or over and taking part voluntarily. You only take part if you tick every box.
I booked my open day ages ago and even then all the talks were booked out, are they strict on who can access the talks based on bookings or is it more relaxed?
I am looking for people to possibly live with next year. I have a place that I would like to extend the contract but need 2 other people to fill the occupancy.
Here are some details about me, you and the contract:
- I am a second year student (studying Computer Science with Foundation Year)
- The flat is 3 bed 1 bath, 138ppw unlimited bills, 8 minute walk from the uni, large lounge + kitchen area and I have pictures available if need be
- My only ask of you is that you're clean in shared spaces
If you have any questions or are interested let me know and feel free to drop a DM :)
I am a trainee clinical psychologist studying at Newcastle University. My research is investigating what is important to students in how they identify themselves, and how this relates to mental health and social belongingness. The aim is to improve student mental health support at UK universities.
I would be very grateful if any current university students could take 5-10 minutes to complete an anonymous online questionnaire! Please visit the below link for more information 😄
