The Centre for Language Study is a friendly centre located on a beautiful parkland University campus, in a safe residential suburb of the city.
As part of the University all of our students benefit from excellent learning and study facilities.
We have a large, modern learning centre with computing laboratories that give you free access to email and the internet.
We have extensive sports facilities including indoor heated swimming pool, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, squash, badminton, multigym, climbing wall and a wide range of aerobics classes. Many of our students find that by using these facilities, or by joining one of the many Student Union clubs, they have really good opportunities to meet British students studying at the University.
Most of our staff have lived and worked in other countries (and we have teachers from lots of countries teaching other languages), so we understand how hard it can be when you arrive and everything seems so different.
We know how important the homestay arrangements are - living with a British family has lots of advantages, and we make sure we select our families carefully so they are warm, welcoming, and understanding and all within easy reach of the campus.
Leeds itself is a great city to live in, (it's the fastest growing commercial city in Europe and one of the greenest). Of course, it is not London - but it is cheaper to live in, easier to travel around in, and very central - so you can get to London for sight-seeing in about 2 hours, to Edinburgh in about 2.5 hours, and to lots of other places in England very easily.
Leeds and Manchester airports are very close - making it easy for you when you arrive to get directly to your accommodation, and for you to take weekend or vacation trips to any European capital city.
Leeds has something for everyone – a vibrant social scene and excellent nightlife, restaurants offering food from all over the world, a fantastic selection of cinemas, wonderful shopping, art galleries and theatres - all within easy distance of beautiful countryside and tourist attractions.
The Right Choice
We know that making the right choice is not easy - but many students who study here tell us that we were the right choice for them as we have so much to offer – excellent courses, extensive facilities and a wonderful location.
