Upcoming events
9 September: Studying as a mature student
Wednesday 9 September, 10am to 1.30pm.
Are you an adult looking to return to study? This in-person will dispel myths and answer common questions about studying at university as a mature student.
You will:
- Find out more about our courses and support for mature learners.
- Hear from some mature students currently studying at the University of Leeds.
- Have the opportunity to ask questions relevant to your individual circumstances.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided, and you’ll also have the opportunity to explore the University of Leeds campus.
15 to 17 September: Adult learner autumn school
Tuesday 15 to Thursday 17 September, 9.30am–2.30pm daily.
Thinking about your next steps and never had the chance to get a degree? Come along to this three day, in-person event at the Lifelong Learning Centre to explore what it’s like to study as a mature student.
Spend three days on the University of Leeds campus to:
- Try tasters of different subjects and explore what you could study.
- Learn about the financial support available to help you study.
- Connect with other adult learners in a welcoming and friendly environment.
This opportunity is for adults who want to explore their options in education, who haven’t already been to university. If you already have a UK or overseas degree, or are studying for an Access to HE Diploma, the autumn school will not be relevant to you.
Lunch is included and limited free pre-school childcare places are available at the University nursery. Please book as early as possible if you require childcare and we’ll contact you to make arrangements.
