The Leeds Partnership
Bringing students and staff together
The Leeds Partnership is a recognition of the need for all members of the Leeds community – students and staff – to work together to contribute to students’ sense of belonging, and to enable them to make the most of the opportunities available to them during their time at the University. This partnership is one of symbiosis – a mutually beneficial relationship that provides the groundwork for our successes while strengthening our sense of community.
Core commitments
- To be responsible, accessible and respectful
- To prepare for, engage with, and contribute to learning at Leeds
- To help each other to reflect, develop, and improve
Partnership in practice
The Leeds Partnership should be embedded in everything we do here at Leeds. Some of the ways the Partnership’s commitments are continuously implemented include:
- Regular programme meetings between students and teaching staff
- Student Staff Forums for each school, including involvement of student society representatives
- Student-run module surveys
- Programme review sessions built into personal tutorials
- Inclusion of students in recruitment of academic staff and prospective students
- Student participants on all of the University’s major committees, enabling them to shape the future of the University
The Partnership Awards
Every year we hold the Partnership Awards, celebrating the students and staff who have gone above and beyond to make the Leeds learning experience so brilliant. Our community is large and diverse, and we’re committed to providing the opportunity for everyone to be recognised and celebrated.
