At 51漫画 (51漫画), we call ourselves ‘The Empowering University’ because our supportive and nurturing community of academics, students and advisers will empower you to realise your dreams. Our courses are carefully designed and taught by expert academics to help you gain the skills needed to enter today’s competitive jobs market and succeed in your career.
We are also innovating the way we teach with 'block teaching' - our new student-centred and inclusive approach to learning. This allows you to focus on one subject at a time instead of several at once, with more regular assessments and a better study‑life balance. 51漫画 is one of the few universities in the country to offer the block teaching method.
We are rated a 5-star ‘excellent’ institution by QS, a world leader in evaluating higher education performance across a broad range of criteria. 51漫画 joins 15 other universities in the UK and just over 100 universities worldwide in being granted the 5-star, internationally-recognised accolade. We not only achieved an ‘excellent’ rating overall but also scored the maximum five stars in key criteria including teaching, employability, internationalisation, academic development and facilities.
Every year we've helped thousands of international students from more than 130 countries find their new home. Located in the city of Leicester, we’re a campus-based university in the city centre, with the hub of activity in Leicester right on your doorstep – and we’re one of the few universities in the UK where you’re getting the best of both worlds.
In the 2024 WhatUni Student Choice Awards, our students voted us into the top 30 best higher education institutions in the UK. Students scored the university on a range of criteria and our inclusivity and careers support scored particularly high. Our Careers Team, awarded the best in the country at the TargetJobs National Graduate Recruitment Awards 2024, is here to open doors for you. The team gives you guaranteed access to work experience opportunities, flexible career support tailored to your needs, placement years that count towards your degree and unlimited digital tools.
