Why Leicester is a strong Clearing destination
Leicester is one of the most affordable and diverse student cities in the UK, which means international students and first-generation applicants often feel at home quickly. The University of Leicester is well respected for research and academic teaching, and De Montfort University is well known for its strong design, media, and creative arts programmes. Both have established Clearing operations, and student housing in Leicester tends to be less competitive than in larger student cities such as Manchester or Birmingham.
