Enrichment opportunities

A postgraduate degree is a challenging yet rewarding experience. At Leeds, there are many opportunities to enrich your studies, make the most of your time here and prepare you for a successful career.

Community engagement & volunteering

The School of Law and the University has a range of opportunities for you to get involved with and help the local community. Volunteering your time can be a great way not only to give something back to your local community, but to also broaden your skillset.

The School of Law offers a number of community engagement opportunities which allow you to work pro bono and put your legal knowledge into practice.

Both Leeds University Union (LUU) and Leeds for Life also offer a range of volunteering opportunities – from working with unhoused individuals in the city and undertaking projects abroad – that could boost your CV and take you to new places. Leeds for Life can also help if you want to set up your own voluntary project.
