Personal and Professional Development
Transform your time as a student by choosing modules that make most of your time at Leeds and prepare you for your future.
Why choose discovery modules from Personal and Professional Development?
This Theme gives you opportunities to develop skills, experience new things, and adapt your knowledge to real-life situations.
Some of these modules will help make you more employable. Some will get you beyond the campus organising events, teaching others, or working with the community. Some will give you skills and approaches that you can use during your time at Leeds – in your presentations, assessments, and final year project. But they all do more than this: they’ll help you take advantage of the fantastic ways that Leeds offers to develop yourself, and to do this within your degree.
If you have any questions about Discovery modules you can talk to your academic personal tutor, or email curriculum@leeds.ac.uk
