The College comprises six research-led Schools: Chemistry, Engineering, Informatics, Mathematics, Physics & Astronomy and Geography, Geology and the Environment. Together, these departments teach approximately 20% of campus-based undergraduate students, undertaking diverse programmes of study, from human geography through a range of laboratory-based subjects to engineering.
The University was founded as Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland University College in 1921. The site for the University was donated by a local businessman, Thomas Fielding Johnson, 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'.
Students were first admitted to the college in 1921, sitting examinations for external degrees awarded of the University of London. In 1927 the institution became University College, Leicester; 30 years later the college was granted its Royal Charter. This gave it the status of a University with the right to award its own degrees.
