Leeds Beckett, you sly dogs!


With £9,000 fees and the thick fog of Brexit on the horizon, can you blame UK students for looking beyond maintenance grants and the bank of mum and dad to pay their way through uni?

In 2016, sugar baby network Seeking Arrangement saw a 22 per cent increase from the previous year in UK students signing up to be pampered by rich older men (and women). Yep, a massive 58,000 UK students have signed up to find Sugar Mummies and Sugar Daddies to look after them.

What’s more, Seeking Arrangement have revealed the top universities in the UK for new sugar babies – with Westminster, Portsmouth, Leeds Beckett, UAL and UCLan taking the top spots.

Also in the top ten were Russell Group unis such as York and Leeds, with Edinburgh, Exeter, Cambridge and Manchester  just falling short.
