We think a university should be about empowering people to explore what they don’t know; through passionate, dedicated teaching and innovative, world-changing research. By embracing the fact that we’re all coming at it from a slightly different place, and that every journey is personal, we’ve managed to achieve some remarkable results in our time.
We believe that the best universities are not just the privilege of elites. We’re proof that you can stand alongside the best and open up the competition for everyone.
Some universities consider their primary purpose to be high quality research, others concentrate on excellent teaching. At Leicester we think that the two are not only complementary, they’re inseparable. We believe that teaching is more inspirational when delivered by passionate scholars engaged in world-changing research – and that research is stronger when delivered in an academic community that includes students.
With these ideas at heart, Leicester is re-framing the values that govern academia and re-defining what a university needs to be in the 21st century. We are constantly finding new ways of being a leading university.
We are the only university to win six consecutive Times Higher Awards. The Times Higher Education applauded Leicester’s very different approach, describing us as “elite without being elitist”.

Nuestro teléfono móvil está diez veces más sucio que la tapa del váter. Y lo tocamos cientos o miles de veces al día sin que se nos pase por la cabeza lavarnos las manos después de hacerlo.
Using your phone when you’re on the toilet is a horrid habit.

Lorsqu’on se détend dans l’eau chaude d’un spa, il est fort probable qu’on respire ou avale les bactéries, les virus et les champignons des personnes qui partagent le bain avec vous.
Communal bathing can get pretty disgusting.
