Leeds University will be awarding studentships that will cover full fees and provide a maintenance grant at the standard UKRI rate (£15,609 in Session 2021/22) for up to 3 years in the Business School Economics Department International Scholarships.
The University, established in 1904, is one of the largest higher education institutions in the UK. The school is renowned globally for the quality of their teaching and research.
Within a few years the number of students began to increase rapidly and changes to state education meant that students were arriving with a better educational foundation. The ten years to the outbreak of war in 1914 were ones of growth and consolidation. Most importantly, the new University started to develop a strong tradition of research.
Unlike Owens College Manchester, the Yorkshire College had always permitted women as students. However, they did not enrol in significant numbers until special facilities were provided at the Day Training College in 1896. The first women graduated from the University of Leeds in 1905.
At the time that the Yorkshire College received its Royal Charter, seven out of eight students came from Yorkshire. Now, the University of Leeds welcomes students from all over the United Kingdom as a truly multicultural and international institution.
