Student knowledge hub

There are a range of ways for students to develop their knowledge of sustainability at the University of Leeds, either directly through their studies, through self-led learning or by engaging in opportunities around volunteering, biodiversity, work placements and more.

New students will get to hear about these opportunities during their student inductions, but you can also contact us at any point to find out more.
