   How it compares

   Among 193 universities in the United Kingdom, the University of Leicester stands out as a public university with a defined set of foundation and diploma options rather than a very broad published catalogue. That makes it more relevant for applicants looking for a smaller, specific programme list and a city-campus setting in Leicester.
