Since 2012, we've used this account to share details of the undergraduate courses we run for mature, part-time and Foundation level students @UniversityLeeds, the support we provide for current and prospective adult learners, and connect with the Leeds community. However, in recent years - like many others - we’ve experienced a huge drop in engagement due to developments on the platform.

The nature of the channel has also changed over the years and no longer aligns with our University values of collaboration, compassion, inclusivity and integrity. While this remains the case, we will no longer be posting on this account.

💭 Offering further reflections on 2024 from the perspective of the LLC outreach team, our Adult Learners Officer and Project Manager Antonio Borriello has written this lovely blog post about our inaugural Adult Learner Autumn School back in September 👇 #AdultLearning #LifelongLearning #WideningParticipation #MatureStudents #University

We're so grateful to Yvonne Aird, one of our wonderful graduates, for sharing the powerful, personal story of the difference returning to education with the LLC has made to her with @WLDispatch 👇

It seems a little surreal in the current wintry conditions (❄️) but we've just received our first invitation to run the LLC stall at an outdoor community event in Leeds in 2025! Our Communities and Partnerships Officer Esther Bissell recently reflected on her first two years coordinating this area of outreach work with local adults in a post on the LLC blog 👇 #LifelongLearning #AdultLearning #CommunityOutreach #CommunityEngagement #CommunityDevelopment
