"It has been a real challenge as, since starting the course, I have had a second child, started two new jobs and now am moving home! But the lecturers are all great and will help you every step and the course is so interesting and really is worth every penny."

James MSc Public Health - Health Promotion
"In my job now, as Youth Work Manager- I want Youth Work students to access Leeds Playhouse as a chance to be part of an organization in the city, and develop pathways for their own learning, development, and employment."

Shreena BA (Hons) Youth Work and Community Development (JNC)
"My lifelong dream remained unchanged and my passion to positively touch the lives of everyone I can reach out too is unparalleled. Leeds Beckett has given me another chance in life to fulfil my lifelong dream of being a nurse."

Rachel BSc (Hons) Adult Nursing
"I loved having the opportunity to undertake a piece of independent research in a field that is personal to me. Because of this opportunity, I have decided that I would like to work towards a career within nutritional-related epidemiology research."

Ross BSc (Hons) Nutrition
"Person-centred practice by the university offered empathy and supported me to continue studying and enhance my public services practice in my community, as well as continually improving my wellbeing."

Mavis MSc Public Health – Health Promotion
"The excellent placement opportunities in hospitals whilst studying at Leeds Beckett gave me a completely different outlook on hospital working."

Tawanda MSc Physiotherapy (Pre-registration)
"The people are amazing. There were only 30 people in my cohort and it felt like we became a family. When you’re spending a lot of your time on campus writing assignments or doing 40-hour weeks on placement, having a group of people who know exactly how you are feeling is unlike any other."

Tia BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy

in the city and region

Our community extends beyond our colleagues and students. We work in partnership with local and national health organisations to produce outcomes that make difference to lives in the region and beyond.

Research and knowledge exchange

We have great links with local NHS services and voluntary organisations working with people with dementia, so we are able to do research that really helps to make a difference to the lives of people with dementia and their families.
