5. Care Leavers and Estranged Students Support
We are conscious of the unique challenges that care experienced and estranged students often encounter as they begin their studies at university, and recognise that without support, you may find it harder to enter and remain in higher education. By addressing these challenges and working directly with you, we hope that anyone who has experienced time in care or is currently studying and living without the support of their parents feels that UC Leeds could be a supportive place in more ways than one.
6. Refugees and Asylum Seekers Support
We want to help refugees and asylum seekers by addressing barriers including overcoming financial, emotional and cultural hurdles, and supporting them to achieve their potential. Our brand values mean that we endeavour to continue supporting and reducing barriers, and meet the needs of each and every student. We believe every student has the right to learn and excel and we value students from all walks of life.
7. Careers and Progression Support
We offer a variety of services to improve your employability and prepare you for your desired career path after you study. Access practical tips from getting a part-time job to finding graduate positions, from learning how to craft the perfect CV to connecting with industry and from joining our Student Ambassadors programme to finding volunteering opportunities.
