It began life as the Leicester School of Art, founded in 1870 then became the Leicester Colleges of Art and Technology in 1927. It became a university in 1992 and took its name from the 13th century Earl of Leicester Simon de Montfort who was known for establishing the first parliament in 1265.

They are also available to offer advice on a wide range of subject, both in person and through an online chat option.

Some of these courses are even free of charge depending on what you are studying. The Campus Centre is home to the Student Union as well as a number of other student facilities and is at the heart of the campus.
