Leeds Metropolitan University is striving to be a world-class regional university, with worldwide horizons, using all its talents to the full. It is one of the largest universities in the country, with over 41,000 students and 3,000 staff. The Met, as it is known, has two contrasting learning environments in Leeds: the traditional setting of one campus in the world-famous sporting area of Headingley and one intertwined with the business, health, civic and entertainment quarters of Leeds. Their campus in the splendid spa town of Harrogate leads the way in breaking down the barriers between business, further and higher education. They are are also developing smaller local opportunities to study elsewhere in Yorkshire, including Ripon and the beautiful Dales.
