What are the Undergraduate Open Days at Leeds Beckett University?

Leeds Beckett University holds Undergraduate Open Days in October and November, and you book a place through the university website. They are on-campus events aimed at prospective undergraduates who want to see the university before applying. The site promotes them with the claim that Leeds Beckett is top 10 in the UK for course quality and employability (Uni Compare 2027 Rankings), so the open days are positioned as a way to test that claim in person.

What the open days are for

The open days are the university's main in-person route for prospective undergraduates to visit before choosing where to apply. According to the university, they are a chance to find out why it ranks in the top 10 for course quality and employability, and to see the campus and facilities for yourself.

They sit alongside the other ways Leeds Beckett presents itself to applicants: undergraduate study, postgraduate study, international student entry, distance learning and degree apprenticeships. If you are weighing up a standard undergraduate degree, the open day is the relevant visit; the other routes have their own information pages.

When they run

• October or November — the university states these are the months for its Undergraduate Open Days.
• The site does not list specific dates in the material available here, so check the open days page for the current schedule before planning travel.

How to book

1. Go to the Leeds Beckett University website (leedsbeckett.ac.uk).
2. Find the Undergraduate Open Days section.
3. Use the Book now option to reserve a place.
4. If you want course information before or after booking, use Find a course to browse undergraduate programmes.

The expected result is a confirmed booking for your chosen date. If a date is full or not yet listed, the booking page is where that will show.

What else to look at while you are on the site

The open day is one part of the decision. The same pages point to:

• Courses — undergraduate, postgraduate, international, distance learning and degree apprenticeships.
• Student communities — the Athletic Union has 38 clubs and 80+ teams competing in BUCS (British Universities and Colleges Sport) leagues, events and competitions, plus LBSU student communities.
• International scholarships — a range of scholarships is offered; the scholarships page shows which are available.
• Living at home — the university notes that staying at home rather than in university accommodation is a cost-effective option for many local students, with a "Life at Leeds Beckett" page covering it.
• Research themes — greener, sustainable communities; sport and healthy communities; inclusive, prosperous communities.

Common sticking points

• Dates move. The university only commits to October and November in the material here. Confirm the exact date on the booking page rather than assuming a fixed weekend.
• Booking is required. The site presents the open days as bookable events ("Book now"), so turning up without a place is not the intended route.
• Ranking claims are the university's own promotion. The top 10 position for course quality and employability is attributed to Uni Compare 2027 Rankings. Treat it as a starting point and check the course-level detail that matters to you.
• Open days are for undergraduates. If you are looking at postgraduate study, distance learning or degree apprenticeships, use those sections instead.

Is it worth going?

If you are seriously considering an undergraduate course at Leeds Beckett and can travel to Leeds in October or November, booking an open day is the most direct way to compare the campus, courses and student communities against your shortlist. If you cannot attend in those months, the course pages, scholarships page and student community information are the next best sources, though they will not replace seeing the place.
