Learning at Leeds

A degree from Leeds is something special. Here you can unlock your full potential and become an independent, critical thinker, well-equipped for the workplace. You'll be taught by, and have access to, inspirational academics who are actively involved in a diverse range of research.

The Partnership

At Leeds we see our students as partners and this spirit stretches across our teaching to the way decisions are made about the University.

Together, staff and students at Leeds have created the Partnership document, which sets out the mutual expectations of us all as members of the University.  It sets out what you should expect from staff and other students, and what will be expected from you as a member of our learning community.

You can expect to receive an excellent and varied learning experience, delivered in an inspiring way.  In return, staff expect you to be open and willing to learn, to work hard and be challenged.
