Learning
Studying isn’t just about sitting at a desk. At Leeds Metropolitan, we work hard to bring your learning to life.
Our bespoke learning environments include media centres, dance studios and mock law courts. Wherever possible, we locate your studies in real work environments to enhance your employability skills and help you to stand out to prospective employers.
As well as having beautiful heritage buildings at our Headingley Campus, we also have some of the best modern buildings in Leeds. In the last two years we have opened three award-winning buildings: Broadcasting Place, The Rose Bowl and Carnegie Pavillion, all of which are flexible, interactive workspaces equipped with the latest digital and audio-visual technology.
Flexible options to suit your busy lifestyle
We want to make study possible for everyone, so many of our courses offer full-time, part-time and distance learning options. If none of our standard courses offers what you need, we may be able to offer an Individual Programme of Study (IPoS), which enables you to completely tailor your own learning. To find out more, contact our Admission Enquiries team.
