• Contact us https://le.ac.uk/about/info/contact

  The contact page gives the institution name as University of Leicester and the main address as University Road, Leicester, LE1 7RH, United Kingdom.

  This source is used for institution identity, city and country.

• Courses https://le.ac.uk/courses

  The official course catalogue presents admission routes as named courses with level of study, attendance mode, duration and UCAS code.

  The catalogue page shows 2026 undergraduate entries such as Accounting BSc at 3-4 years, Accounting and Finance BSc at 3-4 years, and Foundation Year routes typically at 4-5 years.

  The catalogue confirms a named course admission model. It does not show a university-wide major, minor or open programme choice after enrolment.

• Accounting BSc https://le.ac.uk/courses/accounting-bsc/2026

  The Accounting BSc page gives a 3-4 year duration and says the first year is shared with Accounting and Finance BSc and Finance BSc.

  Students can switch to either of those courses at the end of the first year, confirming a local post-enrolment programme switch route within the School of Business.

  The course structure has restricted option blocks: in year 2 students choose one option module from two, and the final year uses defined option-module lists.

  This source does not raise the university-level programChoice score because the switch route is documented for a specific business-course cluster, not for the dominant undergraduate model.

• Economics BSc https://le.ac.uk/courses/economics-bsc/2026

  The Economics BSc page shows a three year full-time route and separate four year variants with a Year Abroad or Year in Industry.

  Five economics courses share the exact same first year, after which students can switch to Economics and Accounting BSc, Economics and Data Analytics BSc, Business Economics BSc or Financial Economics and Banking BSc.

  In year 2 and the final year, students choose option modules from predefined economics lists.

  This source confirms another local common-first-year route, but not a university-wide architecture for choosing the main specialisation.

• Medicine MBChB https://le.ac.uk/courses/medicine-mbchb/2026

  The Medicine MBChB page gives a 5-6 year duration and UCAS code A100.

  This source is used as the upper duration bound for a normal first-professional undergraduate route.

• Study Abroad Unit https://le.ac.uk/cite/study-abroad-unit

  The Study Abroad Unit page says the unit is responsible for student exchanges and study abroad links with universities worldwide.

  Business and economics course pages describe the Year Abroad as an optional extra year between years 2 and 3, with competitive places and academic-performance conditions.

  This confirms mobility provision, but not ordinary registration for individual external modules credited into the home programme. Therefore courseChoice is not raised to 4.

• THE World University Rankings 2026 table https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/2026/world-ranking

  The official THE table and the related 2026 ranking JSON source show the University of Leicester at rank =192.

  The stored rankings.the2026 value is normalised as 192, without the equals sign. RAEX 2026 covers Russian universities, so the RAEX field is omitted.

• QS profile for University of Leicester https://www.topuniversities.com/universities/university-leicester

  The QS profile for the QS World University Rankings 2027 cycle reports 17,190 total students and UG students at 84%. On that basis, undergraduateEnrollment is calculated as 14,440 students.

  The checked university page states only that the University of Leicester is home to more than 20,000 students, without a level split. In the UK model, UG is interpreted as bachelor level; the specialist category does not apply.
