History

The University's history is linked to the development of Leeds as an international centre for the textile industry and clothing manufacture in the Victorian era. Culture The Victorian fascination with novelty resulted in a deep interest in the relationship between modernity and cultural continuities Its roots stretch back to the early nineteenth century and it was one of six civic universities in industrial cities given royal charters at the beginning of the twentieth century. Prior to this wave of expansion in higher education, only four universities - Oxford, Cambridge, London and Durham - were established in England. The University of Oxford (informally "Oxford University" or simply "Oxford" located in the city of Oxford, Oxfordshire, England is the The University of Cambridge (often Cambridge University) located in Cambridge, England, is the second-oldest university in the The University of London is a university based primarily in London, England, UK. Durham University is a University in Durham, England. It was founded as the University of Durham (which remains its official and legal name

Origins

In 1831, the Leeds School of Medicine was set up, serving the needs of the five medical institutions that had sprung up in the city. Leeds School of Medicine is the medical school of the University of Leeds, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. Then in 1874, the School was joined by the Yorkshire College of Science, intended to provide education for the children of middle-class industrialists and merchants. Financial support from local industry was crucial (there is a Clothworkers' Court at the University to this day).

The College of Science was modelled on Owens College, Manchester, established in 1851 as a non-sectarian alternative to Oxford and Cambridge, where religious tests were applied and those outside the Church of England were not allowed to receive degrees or were barred from entry outright. The Victoria University of Manchester (commonly known as the University of Manchester) was a University in Manchester, England. The University of Oxford (informally "Oxford University" or simply "Oxford" located in the city of Oxford, Oxfordshire, England is the The University of Cambridge (often Cambridge University) located in Cambridge, England, is the second-oldest university in the The Church of England is the officially established Christian church in England, the Mother Church of the worldwide Anglican Owens College, like the earlier University College London, applied no such tests and was open to Protestant Dissenters, Catholics and Jews. University College London ( UCL) is a multi-faculty university institution based in the United Kingdom and a constituent college of the University of London English Dissenters were Christians who separated from the Church of England. PLEASE TAKE NOTE************

While religious tests for students at Oxford and Cambridge ceased in the 1850s, northern colleges continued to promote themselves as offering a distinct type of teaching. They took pride in the progressive and pragmatic nature of their scientific education; a field in which the ancient universities, with their focus on theological study, were felt to lag behind.

The Yorkshire College of Science began by teaching experimental physics, mathematics, geology, mining, chemistry and biology, and soon became well known as an international centre for the study of engineering and textile technology. When classics, modern literature and history went on offer a few years later, the Yorkshire College of Science became the Yorkshire College. In 1887, the College merged with the School of Medicine.

Victoria University and royal charter

Leeds was given its first university the following year when the Yorkshire College joined the federal Victoria University, which had begun life when Owens College was awarded a royal charter in 1880. Victoria University was a federal University with sites in Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds in the United Kingdom. Leeds now found itself in an educational union with close social cousins from Manchester and Liverpool.

Unlike Owens College, the Leeds section of the Victoria University had never barred women from its courses. However, it was not until special facilities were provided at the Day Training College in 1896 that women enrolled in significant numbers. The first female student to begin a course here was Lilias Annie Clark, who studied Modern Literature and Education.

The Victoria University was short-lived. Manchester and Liverpool were keen to establish independent universities, unhappy with the practical difficulties posed by maintaining a federal arrangement across broad distances, and spurred by the granting of a charter to the University of Birmingham in 1900. The University of Birmingham (informally Birmingham University) is a British red brick University located in the city of Birmingham The University of Leeds was granted a royal charter as an independent body by King Edward VII in 1904. Year 1904 ( MCMIV) was a Leap year starting on Friday (link will display calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Leap year starting on

Present day

Leeds is a leading research institution, and a member of the Russell Group of Universities. Leeds University Union (LUU is the representative body for the students at the University of Leeds, England. The Russell Group is a collaboration of twenty UK universities that receive two-thirds of universities' research grant and contract funding in the United Kingdom In the most recent Research Assessment Exercise - that of 2001 - the University was placed seventh nationally for the number of top scoring researchers and eighth for 'research power' out of 173 institutions taking part in the exercise. The Research Assessment Exercise ( RAE) is an exercise undertaken approximately every 5 years on behalf of the four UK Higher education funding councils ( HEFCE Just under 800 researchers at the University were given ratings of 5* or 5, meaning that 70 per cent of the University's researchers were working at the highest level on projects of international importance. The University received the highest 5* grade, denoting work at the forefront of international research, in six subjects: Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, English, Town and Country Planning, Food Science, and Italian. ^[6]

In The Times Higher Education Supplement Rankings 2007, Leeds was placed 16th in the UK, 27th in Europe and 80th in the world. Times Higher Education ( THE) formerly The Times Higher Education Supplement ( THES) is a magazine based

The University has an excellent reputation for teaching and provides a wide range of courses for students. The Guardian University Guide 2008 rated it top in the country for Dentistry and Chemical Engineering, while a majority of its courses were rated in the top ten or twenty. The Guardian (until 1959 The Manchester Guardian) is a British Newspaper owned by the Guardian Media Group. ^[7]

The University of Leeds Business School is regarded as one of the best in the UK. Leeds University Business School (LUBS is an international business school in the University of Leeds, located in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England In its most recent ranking the school's MBA programme was placed at 15th in Europe by The Economist. The Economist is an English-language weekly news and International affairs publication owned by The Economist Newspaper Ltd and edited in London ^[8] In the Financial Times' Global MBA ranking for 2008, the Leeds MBA was ranked 48th in the World. The Financial Times ( FT) is a British international business Newspaper. ^[9]

During the 2005-2006 academic year, over 32,000 students were attached to 700 different first-degree programmes and 474 postgraduate degree programmes. Additionally, over 32,000 people were enrolled on short courses. ^[1] Whilst maintaining its strengths in the traditional subjects (for example more students studying languages and physical sciences than anywhere else in the UK), Leeds has also developed expertise in more distinctive and rare specialist areas such as Colour Chemistry, Fire Science and Aviation Technology with Pilot studies.

In December 2004, financial pressures forced the University's governing body (the Council) to decide to close the Bretton campus. Activities at Bretton were moved to the main University campus in the summer of 2007 (allowing all Bretton-based students to complete their studies there). There was substantial opposition to the closure by the Bretton students. The University's other satellite site, Manygates in Wakefield, also closed, but Lifelong Learning and Healthcare programmes are continuing on a new site next to Wakefield College. ^[10]

In May 2006, the University began re-branding itself to bring together its visual identity to produce one consistent look. A new logo was produced, based on that used during the centenary celebrations in 2004, to replace the combined use of the modified University Crest and the old Parkinson Building, which has been in use since 2004. The University Crest will still be used in its original form for ceremonial purposes only. Individual department and service logos are also being phased out. Four university colours were also specified, being      green,      red,      black and      beige. ^[11]

The University is committed to working with the private sector and invests heavily in realising the commercial potential of its academic developments. In Economics, the private sector is that part of the economy which is both run for private Profit and is not controlled by the State. Leeds attracts the highest level of industrial funding of any university in the UK.

The University’s educational partnerships have included providing formal accreditation of degree awards to Leeds College of Art and Design and Leeds Trinity & All Saints, although the latter is now establishing itself as a university in its own right. Leeds College of Art and Design is a specialist arts further and Higher education institution based in the city of Leeds in northern England Leeds Trinity & All Saints is an accredited college of the University of Leeds offering degrees and diplomas in areas such as media business marketing education humanities psychology

The A660 is a major Road in West Yorkshire, England that runs from Leeds to Burley-in-Wharfedale where it meets the A65 The tower of this building is also a well-known landmark and is used in the University's logo.

In addition to the main campus, there is also a satellite location at Wakefield. Wakefield lies at the heart of the City of Wakefield, a Metropolitan borough of West Yorkshire, England. Until the 2007/8 academic year, some courses were taught at the Bretton Hall campus in West Bretton. Bretton Hall is a Stately home in West Bretton in the county of West Yorkshire, England, near Wakefield.
