Leeds Metropolitan University
-
Leeds Metropolitan University gained university status in 1992; prior to this date it was known as Leeds Polytechnic. The number of students is listed by the HESA 2008/09 data as the 15th largest in Britain.
History
The university’s origins can be traced back to 1824, with the foundation of the Leeds Mechanics Institute. Leeds Polytechnic was formed in 1970 and was a constituent part of the Leeds Local Education Authority until it became an independent Higher Education Corporation on 1 April 1989. In 1992 the institution was given University status and changed its name to Leeds Metropolitan University.
Reputation
In November 2006, the University won the award for "outstanding contribution to the local community" at the annual higher education awards ceremony hosted by The Times Higher Education Supplement. It also came second in the main category, "the University of the Year", which was won by the University of Nottingham. In this category, the University was highly commended for its "low-charging, high impact" strategy.
In June 2007, Leeds Met received recognition of its environmentally friendly attitude by being ranked number one in the UK in the Green League 2007: a ranking of sustainability in the higher education sector, compiled by People & Planet.
Campus
City Campus (Leeds)
This comprises an expanding number of locations in Leeds city centre. In addition to the former Polytechnic site, several other buildings have recently been acquired. These include: Cloth Hall Court, in the legal district of the city; Old Broadcasting House, the former home of the BBC in Leeds; Electric Press, a building on Millennium Square; and Old School Board, the birthplace of school education in Leeds and domicile of the Centre for Tourism and Cultural Change (CTCC). The latest additions for the 2008/09 year are the Rose Bowl, the new home of the Leeds Business School, opposite the Civic Hall, and Old Broadcasting Place, providing teaching space for the Faculty of Arts and Society and student accommodation. It also plans to build a "Senator George Mitchell Centre for Peace and Conflict Resolution" on the former Polytechnic site, once several of the current buildings have been demolished.
Headingley Campus (Leeds)
This is a 100-acre (0.40 km2) campus sited in Beckett Park, Headingley. The oldest property on this site is the Grange, a 1752 farmhouse once occupied by John Marshall. The site is mostly made up of low-rise 19th century buildings set around a central lawn. The site is in a park location and has many open areas on campus. In the 1990s, the University closed existing Halls of Residence on campus, converting the units to lecture theatres and teaching facilities. In 2006, the Campus extended beyond the confines of Beckett Park to include the Carnegie Stand at the Headingley Stadium. This dual-purpose stand accommodates more than 4,500 spectators, and also provides teaching rooms and a hall. After bulldozing R.W.Rich Hall, a student hall of residence built in the late 1900s, the Carnegie Village was opened in August 2009, providing on-campus accommodation for 479 students.
Courses
The University runs many different courses for Undergraduate degrees and Postgraduate degrees. But the most famous ones are in Arts / Civil Engineering / Business Management / Economics / Language / Law / Architecture / Art and Design / Tourism .
Accommodation
The University provides 4,500 bedrooms in a variety of locations and all first year undergraduates are guaranteed a place in university accommodation. Carnegie Village was new for September 2010 and provides Passivhaus standard townhouses and apartments at Headingley Campus. The largest hall is Kirkstall Brewery on Broad Lane which has places for over 1,000 students and is located about 2 miles (3.2 km) from the Headingley campus. As its name suggests it is a former brewery property, but is mostly modern blocks. The second largest is Sugarwell Court, in Meanwood, which is about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from the Civic campus, and accommodates 388 students.
Facilities
Recently, a Leeds Metropolitan University's building has come up trumps winning an award at the West Yorkshire Building Excellence Awards as announced in the local press.
The Yorkshire Post has reported that The Carnegie Pavilion, a joint venture between Leeds Met and partners Yorkshire County Cricket Club, was amongst the most impressive new buildings across West
Yorkshire to be recognised by local authority experts and scooped the award for the commercial category.
Leeds Metropolitan gives you access to vast green spaces and world-class sporting facilities at our Headingley Campus, while our City Campus puts you in the heart of the Leeds business district and offers state-of-the-art teaching facilities in award-winning learning environments. We have active Students' Unions on both sites, as well as libraries that are open 24/7 so that you can fit your studies around other commitments.
Transport
London is two-and-a-half hours away by train, with excellent links (by road and rail) to the rest of the country. Leeds Bradford International airport takes you further afield.
