From Leeds to the world...

At the University of Leeds, we believe every student – regardless of background – should have the chance to step into the world and thrive. Yet for many, international experiences remain out of reach due to financial and structural barriers.

Right now, our student communities will be considering 'what's next' in their career journey.

Employers now expect graduates to have global employability skills and experiences that set them apart. But for students from underrepresented backgrounds, the cost and time commitment make these opportunities impossible.

Without support, these students risk missing out on experiences that could transform their future.

That's why Leeds offers fully funded Global Experiential Learning programmes for students who need them most - students from underrepresented backgrounds. So, every student can graduate 'workplace-ready' with confidence, skills and a global outlook.

Through programmes from Brussels to Fiji, students gain cultural confidence, global citizenship and employability skills that open doors to careers they never imagined.

Research shows students who participate in overseas placements achieve better academic results, higher employability, and increased earnings. These benefits are especially pronounced for those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

By making a gift today, you can grant these students access to a world of opportunity in which they can make a significant difference.

Please give today, to support the world we want to live in tomorrow.

Thank you.
