What is Leeds Futures? 

Leeds Futures is a national outreach programme designed for individual learners in Year 12/Year 1. The programme consists of a mixture of (mainly) online and in-person activities throughout Year 12 until the point of submitting their UCAS application in Year 13/Year 2. 
 
Leeds Futures is free of charge and priority is given to applicants who meet certain widening participation criteria. The programme provides students with the opportunity to learn more about a subject area they are interested in pursuing at university, whilst developing their study skills and careers awareness. Students attend a variety of subject-related activities alongside receiving advice and guidance on practical matters such as UCAS applications, accommodation choices and student finance. 
 
We run a range of Leeds Futures programmes in Arts and Humanities, Health Sciences, Social Sciences and STEM.
