Posted on : 15 October 2024

Leading international pathway provider, NCUK, is pleased to announce that the University of Leicester is joining the NCUK Global Network, expanding the choices available to pathway students who are eager to embark on their study abroad journey. Located in the heart of the East Midlands, Leicester is a historic institution renowned for its world-class research, commitment to student success, and central location.

This partnership provides NCUK students with direct progression routes into some of Leicester’s most prestigious academic programmes, including Medicine, one of the most attractive options available in the network. Leicester’s renowned Department of Genetics, famously known as the birthplace of genetic fingerprinting, discovered in 1984 by Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys, is a testament to the university’s innovative spirit.

We are delighted to welcome NCUK as a trusted pathway partner of the University. NCUK’s reputation as one of the UK’s most established and reputable providers of pathway courses makes it an excellent fit for Leicester, an institution committed to research-inspired teaching and the empowerment of its diverse body of students to become Citizens of Change
