Lifelong Learning Centre

The Lifelong Learning Centre is a multi-disciplinary academic school running foundation year, degree (part-time and full-time) and apprenticeship courses. Our foundation years lead to more than 200 degree programmes at the University of Leeds.

We are also a specialist service supporting mature and part-time undergraduate students across the University. We work in close partnership with our diverse student community to deliver excellent, inclusive teaching and support.

We are passionate about lifelong learning and widening access to the University for those who are under-represented in higher education. Many of our students join us without formal qualifications like A-levels or GCSEs through our alternative entry scheme. We work with adult learners and local community partners to encourage people to think about studying at university.
