Course recommendations
My favourite course, not only in Leeds but out of all the modules I have ever taken was Romance, Ballad and Fairytale. The focus in this module is on the link between older English literature and more modern novels. It is essentially for those who has an interest in folk tales and the fantasy genre.

Personal comments
Not really, but a piece of advice to other students is to really think through their choice of courses, and remember the possibility one has to change these choices early on in the term,and lastly; be prepared since there is a lot of reading to get through.

“Tough but very rewarding”
Amir A
United Kingdom, Graduate
Engineering, Chemical, 2019
OverallI studied Petroleum Engineering BEng. It was extremely tough as we shared a lot of modules with chemeng and with geology students. Felt a bit like jack of all trades and master of none! But the course itself was very rigirous and required many late nights in the library. If you want a social life at Leeds and to graduate with First Class Honours, studying chemical/petroleum engineering is not the course for you!

Pros
There's a lot of opportunities (internships, further study, socials) but you'll have to find them yourself.
Cons
Coursework can be so demanding that it's difficult to absorb the subject as you're constantly cramming especially in your final year.

Be prepared for the finals...they often count for your entire grade! Something I was not used to.

Personal comments
It's too much pressure to have your entire grade based on one test...less weight should be placed on the test and more on course work
