About University of Leeds
Leeds grew from the Leeds School of Medicine (1831) and the Yorkshire College of Science (1874), which local textile and manufacturing interests set up and which merged in 1884. The college joined the federal Victoria University in 1887 and became the independent University of Leeds by royal charter in 1904. Its main campus is just north of Leeds city centre.
