☕The "Slow" Life: Plenty of quiet cafĂ©s and study nooks for when you need to recharge and focus
💃The Energy: A diverse nightlife and entertainment scene that caters to everyone
đŸ’ŒFuture Career: Strong local employer partnerships to jumpstart your career, before you even graduate.

Make Leeds Your Home

UCAS EXTRA IS OPEN

If you’ve used all five of your UCAS choices and received decisions from all of them, but you’re not holding any offers (either because you weren’t successful or you declined them), you still have another opportunity.

 

For 2026 entry, UCAS Extra is open from 26 February to 1 July 2026 and allows you to add one more choice to your application.

 

Keep in mind that once you add a choice through Extra, you can’t change your mind or go back to your original five choices - so make sure you’re happy with your decision before adding it.

 

If you haven't started your application, or used all your 5 choices, you do not need to use UCAS Extra. You can complete your application at any time before enrolment in September by visiting our How to Apply page.
