Leaving the university

Getting ready to leave often coincides with other pressures. Maybe you’re doing exams, finishing a dissertation, looking for a job, or changing your plans.

Whatever your situation, there’s information and support to help make it easier.

Leaving Leeds early

While we hope everything goes well with your studies, sometimes things don’t quite go to plan. If you’re thinking about leaving university  – either temporarily or permanently – before completing your studies, support is available to help you make a decision that’s right for you.

Leaving your research due to a change in circumstances

While we hope everything goes well with your studies, sometimes things don’t quite go to plan. If you’re thinking about permanently leaving university before completing your studies, support is available to help you make a decision that’s right for you.

Transfer to another University

Sometimes students decide they have made the wrong choice and would like to transfer to a programme at a different University. This is normally possible.
