Aidan Fogarty, Advanced Concrete Technology MSc
A couple of people in industry whose opinions I value have the qualification. They speak highly about the course, its content and the impact it has had on their career and personal confidence.

Alicia Eduardo Pareja, Water, Sanitation and Health Engineering MSc
You won´t regret choosing this course at the University of Leeds because it is well organized, has outstanding staff, and has relevant modules focused on how to face the current needs related to water, sanitation and hygiene needs mainly in low-income countries.
I would also say, enjoy every second, learn as much as you can from lectures, experience of your professors and classmates, because their background has an enriched and valuable knowledge.

When you come to Leeds you're joining a vibrant global community. We're an international institution, with staff and students from all over the world.
Zainab Al Balushi, Engineering Project Management MSc
As a sponsored student, my sponsor provided me with a list of the top 20 universities in the UK to choose from and the University of Leeds was on the top of that list. So I became enthusiastic to know the reasons behind its high rank.
After surfing the net, I was so impressed to know that many students chose it because of the high quality of teaching and the high profile of its faculty. What encouraged me the most was the curriculum of my chosen program which was exactly what I want to study.
