This domain has been acquired for name protection purposes or has been parked pending it being redirected to a live web server.

Please note: we are aware of an increasing number of websites attempting to sell fake degrees or products using names similar to ours, and websites whose URLs match our name displaying lists of links to various commercial or other sites or redirecting you to advertising sites. You may have arrived here while searching for such a website. Our official website is, and always has been http://www.leeds.ac.uk/. In addition, we maintain a number of other names which are variants of our name University of Leeds, Leeds University etc. in order to protect their use - for example the one you visited to reach this page.

Fake services which have been uncovered range from sites offering to sell degrees, to more complex sites which offer a degree validation service. In some cases we have evidence of fake degree certificates produced by organisations such as these which carry a reference number - when you visit the fakers website this number will reveal an attempt to validate the fake degree. We do not do this, degrees are validated by our central student support.

If you have received a copy of a degree and have come here to check its validity please send a scan of it and as much information as possible to webmaster@leeds.ac.uk, anonymously or otherwise.
