## 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](https://www.leeds.ac.uk/lifelong-learning/doc/llc-teaching) and [support](https://www.leeds.ac.uk/lifelong-learning/doc/llc-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](https://www.leeds.ac.uk/mature-students-courses/doc/part-time-and-foundation-courses#alternative-entry). We [work with adult learners and local community partners](https://www.leeds.ac.uk/lifelong-learning/doc/outreach-work-adults-communities) to encourage people to think about studying at university.
