The University of Leicester is now accepting applications for 80 Head of College Scholarships. International students (non-EU) are eligible to apply.

University of Leicester’s aim is to be a world-class research-intensive university and deliver teaching and facilitate learning of the highest quality.

The University was founded as Leicestershire and Rutland University College in 1921. The site for the university was donated by a local textile manufacturer, Thomas Fielding Johnson, in order to create a living memorial for those who lost their lives in First World War.

Applicants from outside the home country will often need to meet specific English language/other language requirements in order to be able to study there.
