UCAS Clearing 2019 case study. Music production student, Ross — **Ross** BA (Hons) Music Production

My favourite thing about Leeds Beckett

First of all, it's full of friendly people.
I also really like that you can work whenever, and however, suits you. I like to work at night, and I like that I can use the facilities 24/7 like the library and the music studios. It’s really unusual to be able to do that.

A fact about me

I have been playing guitar for a decade now!

Why I chose Leeds Beckett

Leeds Beckett was actually the only university I visited and applied to.

I had a friend who recommended it to me, so I thought I'd come to visit seeing as he loved it so much. When I came it just stood out to me, and I chose it as my firm choice straight away. I loved the music facilities.

What I'm most proud of

I'm most proud of all the extra-curricular stuff I've done since coming to Leeds Beckett. I do a lot of sessions in the studio outside of my classes because I enjoy it so much. I do ambassador work, as well as making vlogs and blogs for the university.

I've taken advantage of everything Leeds Beckett has to offer me.
