The Student Success Fund supports University of Leicester students facing real-life financial hardship, helping to ensure they can continue to study, succeed and thrive.

Gifts to this fund enable the University to provide vital financial support and resources, giving students the opportunity to reach their full potential. Tuition fees alone do not cover the full cost of educating a student. Philanthropic support helps bridge that gap, ensuring that financial hardship is never a barrier to education.

Make a gift today to the Student Success Fund: https://host.nxt.blackbaud.com/donor-form/?svcid=renxt&formId=0a59c767-b13b-4501-9382-6ae262bf4b15&envid=p-OOBNUPNd_UGayB8DZdcpPg&zone=eur

We’re back on University Challenge. 🧠

A new team of Leicester students is getting ready to take on Birmingham in the first round, with Samuel Carlier, Emmeline Hague-Wright, Patrick Loughrey and Abi Burton representing the University.

And there’s a little history to live up to: Leicester won the very first University Challenge series in 1963, beating Oxford’s Balliol College in the final.

Now, 63 years later, our latest team will face Birmingham on Monday 31 August at 8.30pm on BBC Two.

Will Leicester make it through to the next round?

We’ll be watching.
