Based in the thriving city of Leeds, our university is one of the most popular in the country. With over 27,000 students and 2,800 staff, we are a people business and our contribution to the region and beyond is significant. We value our students' dreams and goals; our university is committed to preparing them for the world of work in the best possible way.
Our five strategic themes set out how we plan to achieve this by 2015, and these are underpinned by a variety of other strategies and documents which demonstrate our commitment to student success.
Our values, which are the principles that guide the way we do things, are that we should be:
- Inspiring
- Creative
- Purposeful
- Professional
- Enterprising
- Respectful
Here at Leeds Metropolitan we are a warm, welcoming and professional university.

Being located in the biggest financial district outside of London makes us a popular university for students and graduates alike. We want our students, staff, partners, and friends to enjoy being part of the Leeds Met family.
