Why Leeds
Why Indian students choose Leeds
Climbing the Global Rankings
Leeds rose nine places to #77 in the QS World Rankings 2027, now 12th in the UK — a founding Russell Group member with genuine research depth.
A Large, Established Indian Community
Over 1,400 Indian students study at Leeds, the second-largest international cohort on campus after China.
Interdisciplinary Data Science Strength
The MSc Data Science and Analytics is jointly delivered across Computer Science, the Business School, Mathematics, and Geography — a broader skillset than a single-department degree.
Post-Study Work Rights
The Graduate visa currently gives you 2 years in the UK to work after your degree (3 for PhD), reducing to 18 months for students starting from 2027.
One of England's Biggest Student Cities
A huge, affordable student population and a genuinely diverse city, without London-level living costs.
Leeds University Business School
Triple-accredited (AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA) with a dedicated MBA Excellence Scholarship fund for 2026 entry.
