Enrichment opportunities
Clubs and societies
Leeds University Union (LUU) offers you the chance to meet new people, continue an interest or discover something new with more than 350 clubs and societies for you to choose from.
Our student-led groups are the perfect way to meet other Leeds students, pick up or develop interests and skills, and to find your people at Uni.
Volunteering
We offer a range of volunteering opportunities to help you discover skills and experience that will make you stand out from the crowd after you graduate.
In the School of Education, you can volunteer to take part in a range of award-winning activities, including Junior Detectives. This collaboration with West Yorkshire Police gives our students the opportunity to assist all stakeholders in the delivery of this multi-faceted initiative.
Global community
The international approach here at Leeds, feeds into your studies, through internationally focused research and projects or teaching led by academics from all over the world. Our Global Community offers you endless opportunities.
For those students looking for an immersive experience, then our overseas internship could be exactly the opportunity to apply for. In the School of Education, we offer opportunities to apply for internships abroad with a selection of our Masters programmes.
Work placements
Here in the School of Education, we are fully committed to increasing student opportunities for work-based learning. In our optional BA modules or the refreshed MA Education programme, but also in tandem with our Career's Service, we can offer a diverse range of placements in Education Providers through traditional day release placements, student-led After School Clubs within several local schools and campus based events that our students play host to schoolchildren from the region.

Study abroad
Studying abroad – whether for a semester or a full year – is a great way to broaden your horizons and change your perspective personally and academically. It can also help you stand out in the competitive job market and potentially prepare you for an international career.

“The School of Education is a big warm family. From the very start, there were many activities and trips for us to get together, including a weekend in the Lake District and day trips to the Education Show in Birmingham, to Chatsworth House and to Marsden Cuckoo Festival - nice opportunities for new MA students to get to know more about each other outside of the classroom.”View Profile
