Ranked in the world's top 75 universities in the QS rankings, and a member of the Russell Group, it was named as the Times and Sunday Times University of the Year 2017. With an annual turnover of £924 million, more than 39,800 students and over 9,300 staff, the University is making significant investments in student education, research and innovation, and extending its international reach. The University Strategy 2020-2030 seeks to assert the University of Leeds as a values-driven institution with considerable positive impact nationally and internationally.

The Leeds University Business School is one of the seven Faculties and is home to almost 500 staff and over 5,000 students from around 100 countries.
