Official University of Leicester 2023 Applicant Thread

Hey every1.
I'm applying to med 😩.
I'm really excited to go to uni next year (fingers crossed) I can't wait to leave my city. I went to Leicester's open day in September and the campus and surrounding area is SOOO nice like I was obsessed( could be my firm??)

Good luck all of us✨

I've applied for medical genetics! I really liked the vibes of the uni, I haven't visited the actual city of leicester though. Can anyone tell me more about it?

Hey @isla21!

Best of luck!! I'm so glad you liked the vibes of the uni what was your favourite part? Mine is how pretty the campus is and the student community feel.

I've lived in Leicester for 8 years now so can definitely tell you a bit about the city- there's lots of restaurants, cafes, bars (independent places and chains too) and bowling, cinema, mini-golf! We also have really good shopping at Highcross shopping centre (high street brands and some designer outlets, plus a huge John Lewis!)

The city centre is very walkable from campus, around 10-15 minutes and the city is not huge so you can get around quite easily It's also very student focussed and affordable because the city has 2 universities (student discount!!!)

If you get made an offer from the University, you'll likely be invited to an offer holder day- this might be a great opportunity to spend an hour or so exploring the city!

Always happy to chat more- Alisha

I have applied (and received an offer) for Modern and Contemporary History, really enjoyed the open day and the city when I visited in June/July and am super excited to go to the offer holder day in Feb (although also rather nervous).

What accommodation would you believe was better for first years? the city or the village?

Hey, how long did it take to get an offer?

I got an offer from Leicester the day after I realised my application was sent in, although my others took around a week.

Did you get a conformation email?

Yeah, I got an email from Leicester actually before it updated on UCAS though with my others it was the other way around

when did you apply?

I submitted my application to my school around early October but it only get sent off to my Universites around early November (that's definitely my schools fault)

Don't worry I had to chase my referee for 3 weeks before he finally wrote my reference.

Hello all,I have applied to the bsc creative computing courseCurrently awaiting an offer. 🤞nervous yet excited to move from my city to Leicester next year!Anyone else applying to a computing course?

Hello. I applied today for Mechanical Engineering 😊. I loved the modules and the general vibe of the school.

I'm very excited to start uni next year but I'm nervous about getting an offer. Also, I'll probably have to take the Maths test. I have zero idea what to expect.
