About
PartialLeeds doesn't publish named fee bands -- international tuition is set per individual course via its Course Search tool. £26,500/year (2026 entry) comes from two Arts/Humanities course pages (English and History BA), representative of Leeds' lower fee tier; the full range runs up to roughly £49,000/year for lab/clinical subjects, but no official page states discrete band names. Student size left blank (no dated total-enrollment figure found). QS rank 86 (2026 edition) is from Leeds' own FY2024-25 Annual Report and Financial Statements PDF, corroborated by a Leeds news article. THE rank 118th (2026) is confirmed from timeshighereducation.com. Guardian rank joint-28th (2026) is via other outlets' reporting only -- theguardian.com itself couldn't be opened directly; sourced from Leeds' own news article reporting the figure. Russell Group status confirmed on Leeds' own official About page. No official acceptance rate published.

Natural Sciences & Mathematics
AAB (A-level, including Chemistry)
Leeds's own Chemistry (BSc) course page states a typical A-level offer of AAB, requiring Chemistry (plus a pass in the practical-science element where a science A-level is taken). Leeds's official USA entry-requirements page describes the real pathway for US applicants as a High School Diploma with a 3.0+ GPA plus two Honours classes (grade A+ to B) and one further qualification (an AP exam, an IB Higher Level, dual enrolment, or an older-format SAT Subject Test) -- not a standalone SAT or ACT score threshold, and it explicitly wouldn't cover this course's Chemistry subject requirement in any case. No direct SAT/ACT figure is published for this course. Tuition of £33,700/year for 2027 entry is confirmed directly on the course's own official page.
Official source ↗Computer Science BSc
Computer Science & Computing
AAA (A-level, including Mathematics)
Leeds's own Computer Science (BSc) course page states a typical A-level offer of AAA, requiring Mathematics. Leeds's official USA entry-requirements page describes the real pathway for US applicants as a High School Diploma with a 3.0+ GPA plus two Honours classes (grade A+ to B) and one further qualification (an AP exam, an IB Higher Level, dual enrolment, or an older-format SAT Subject Test) -- not a standalone SAT or ACT score threshold, and it explicitly wouldn't cover this course's Mathematics subject requirement in any case. No direct SAT/ACT figure is published for this course. Tuition of £33,700/year for 2027 entry is confirmed directly on the course's own official page.

AAA (A-level)
Leeds's own course page (code F836) confirms an AAA A-level standard offer (cross-checked against the equivalent IB requirement, 35 points with 17 at HL). Leeds Business School's official USA-qualifications table (business.leeds.ac.uk/dir-record/lubs-qualifications/558/usa) lists SAT/ACT figures (SAT 700 EBRW/670 Maths, ACT 28/28), but explicitly as substitutes for the English-language and Mathematics-competency requirements, not a standalone academic admission bar -- actual admission runs on GPA (min 3.0) plus AP/IB/Honours coursework. No direct SAT/ACT figure published here since the real academic bar isn't a test score, same honest-gap standard as Manchester/Imperial/Bristol/Warwick/Glasgow. The course's own Fees and Funding tab states international tuition for 2027 entry is explicitly 'To be confirmed' as of this research -- no tuition figure published.
Official source ↗Geography BSc
Geography & Environmental Sciences
AAB (A-level, including one of a listed set of science/geography-adjacent subjects)

Leeds's official USA entry-requirements page describes the real pathway for US applicants as a High School Diploma with a 3.0+ GPA plus two Honours classes (grade A+ to B) and one further qualification (an AP exam, an IB Higher Level, dual enrolment, or an older-format SAT Subject Test) -- not a standalone SAT or ACT score threshold, and it explicitly wouldn't cover this course's named-subject requirement in any case. No direct SAT/ACT figure is published for this course. Tuition of £30,400/year for 2027 entry is confirmed directly on the course's own official page.
Official source ↗History BA

Leeds's official USA entry-requirements page describes the real pathway for US applicants as a High School Diploma with a 3.0+ GPA plus two Honours classes (grade A+ to B) and one further qualification (an AP exam, an IB Higher Level, dual enrolment, or an older-format SAT Subject Test) -- not a standalone SAT or ACT score threshold.

No direct SAT/ACT figure is published for this course itself. Tuition of £29,000/year for 2027 entry is confirmed directly on the course's own official page.

A*AA (A-level, including Mathematics and either Physics or Chemistry)
Leeds's own Mechanical Engineering (BEng) course page states a typical A-level offer of A*AA, requiring Mathematics and either Physics or Chemistry -- a notably higher and more specific bar than most other Leeds courses. Leeds's official USA entry-requirements page describes the real pathway for US applicants as a High School Diploma with a 3.0+ GPA plus two Honours classes (grade A+ to B) and one further qualification (an AP exam, an IB Higher Level, dual enrolment, or an older-format SAT Subject Test) -- not a standalone SAT or ACT score threshold, and it explicitly wouldn't cover this course's named-subject requirements in any case.

Leeds Medical School's own admissions materials confirm the AAA-including-Chemistry-and-Biology standard, a mandatory UCAT (no BMAT or GAMSAT alternative accepted), and Multiple Mini Interview selection, but name no SAT, ACT, or AP figure for US applicants -- distinct from the existing Leeds University Business School Economics entry (which does have a real published USA-qualifications conversion table), confirming Medicine runs its own, separate international-applicant process. No direct SAT/ACT figure published.
Official source ↗Politics BA

AAB (A-level); A-level Politics not required
