How to find us

The University of Leicester is a leading UK university committed to international excellence through the

creation of world-changing research and high quality, inspirational teaching. Leicester is consistently one of the

most socially inclusive of the UK’s leading universities with a long-standing commitment to providing fairer and

equal access to higher education.

The University was founded in 1921 (the Fielding Johnson Building was used as a military hospital during the

First World War), in order to create a living memorial for all local people who made sacrifices during the First

World War. This is reflected in the University's motto Ut vitam habeant – 'so that they may have life'.

The University has a significant legacy with the use of DNA in forensic science, pioneered by Sir Alec Jeffries in

1986. The most recent event was finding and identifying the mortal remains of King Richard III in a Leicester

Car Park.
