Students in our a cappella group, The Songsmiths, have recorded this festive medley from our beautiful Great Hall to help us wish you a very Happy Christmas.

Snow on campus

The festive season started early here at Leeds when our campus sparkled under an early snowfall. Naturally, we dashed out to take some photos for you. Scroll down and take a look at Leeds in the snow – and share your memories of winter in Leeds.

    How to make a wreath

    The festive rush keeps Lavender Blue Florist owner Jenefer Baker (Music 2006) on her toes. She spared some time in this blog post to explain how to make your homemade wreath stand-out this season.

    A year to remember

    In Tokyo, Jonny Brownlee completed his medal set, and Claire Cashmore made it nine. In Glasgow, Leeds community members played their part in the fight to combat the climate crisis at COP26. And in Leeds, the campus buzzed with the return of staff and students.

    Join us, as we take a trip through the Leeds alumni highlights from all over the globe in 2021.

    Give back to Leeds this Christmas

    As a member of our alumni community, you know better than anyone how transformational the Leeds experience can be for a student. It sets them up with skills, friends and memories that they take with them through life.

    However, some students face financial and personal hurdles which prevent them from making the most of their time here.  

    You can help to ensure that future generations of students, regardless of their background, can have the same enriching experience you had by supporting scholarships today.
