The University of Leeds, with roots dating back to its establishment as the Yorkshire College of Science in 1874, stands as a prominent public research university in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. Over the years, it has evolved and expanded, playing a significant role in shaping the educational landscape. The institution was founded in 1874 as the Yorkshire College of Science, and after merging with the Leeds School of Medicine in 1884, it took on the name Yorkshire College. Its continued expansion led to its 1887 admission into the federal Victoria University, where it was enrolled alongside schools like University College Liverpool and Owens College. King Edward VII’s royal charter, which formally established the University of Leeds, was issued in 1904.
