WHY LEEDS BECKETT?

Our aspiration is to help create great graduates, exceptional employees, dynamic citizens and enterprising leaders.

We understand there’s a lot to consider when your planning your next career move – so in this page you’ll find just a few of the reasons why you should choose Leeds Beckett.

OUR VISION
Our students are a diverse community with different needs and aspirations. Teaching excellence is at the heart of our culture and academic practice, focusing on the provision of an outstanding education and experience for our students. We are proud of our polytechnic roots, and proud to have built on our heritage as a vital source of professional, vocational and applied learning, underpinning the social, economic, and cultural life of our city and region.
OUR SPIRIT
At Leeds Beckett University, we are united in our understanding of what working hard and having a bold industrious spirit can bring. Our innovative, forward thinking is something that is fostered by our people and is shared with our students, helping us to not only create great graduates, but exceptional employees, dynamic citizens and enterprising leaders. Wherever we work within the university, we nurture the abilities that shape a lifetime, opening the minds of our students and opening the doors to success.
OUR COMMUNITY
Our community is made up of people from a range of social and cultural backgrounds, brought together in a world-class learning environment that celebrates both our heritage and exciting future. Both our impressive historic Headingley Campus and modern city centre hub offer award winning facilities, great resources and extensive support needed to allow both students and staff thrive. And it's enabled us to become the only university in the UK to hold both the Customer Service Excellence (CSE) and IPP (Gold) accreditations across our whole institution.
OUR CITY
Of course, also being located in the largest financial district outside of London also makes us a popular choice for staff, students and graduates alike. Leeds is a vibrant, cultural city that offers endless options. From the buzz of our thriving arts scene, to our impressive list of destinations for foodies, shopaholics and night owls, there's plenty to explore, right on our doorstep. But it doesn't stop here. We live in the truly fantastic county that's just waiting to be discovered, from the scenic Yorkshire Dales and the region's glorious coastline, to wildlife and World Heritage Sites. So whether you're new to the area or a long-term local, there's always something to see and do.

Our Commitment

Inclusive. Teamwork. Integrity. Pragmatism. Ambition. Purposeful. As a community we agreed that our university’s purpose, decisions, and actions rest on these six values we all believe in and try to uphold in the conduct of our daily work.

We strive to create a vibrant, ethical and sustainable working and learning environment that celebrates diversity and promotes inclusion. Having a ‘Community of Great People’ is key to all our future success and we want this to be reflective of our university life.

We are committed to supporting and developing our staff and offer a full programme of opportunities for personal success at work. From webinars designed to support your wellbeing and ways of working, to developing as a manager or leader in your area.

Working here means you will also have access to a wide range of benefits including our generous pension schemes, excellent holiday entitlements, flexible working, reduced study fees, subsidised fitness facilities and a lot more.
