We are a world-class university, featured in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2019. Since the early 19th century, we have been successfully combining an academic education with its practical application. We continue to collaborate with thousands of regional, national and international businesses to ensure our research and courses are contemporary, rich and relevant; they meet the needs of our students and their present or future employers. We believe this is why 95% of all our UK graduates are in work or further study six months after graduating*. Our ambitions for the future are demonstrated by a significant investment in our academic facilities, with two major developments due for completion, one in winter 2019/20 and the other in autumn/ winter 2020. These outstanding new buildings will enhance our creative and sport provision and provide expansion space for many of our academic schools, further strengthening our teaching and research activities across a range of subject areas. We recognise that academic success is a partnership between teachers and learners. I hope that what you discover about our courses and our academic approach provides you with the confidence to join us and combine your ambition with ours. If you would like to know more about us, please follow the links to more detailed information on our website. And don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. We’ll be pleased to talk.

  • Individual and Institution in the Musical Life of Leeds 1900-1914
    Individual and Institution in the Musical Life of Leeds 1900-1914 Robert Demaine Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of York Department of Music July 2000 Abstract In the years immediately before the First World War the city of Leeds enjoyed a rich and diverse musical life which has remained largely unchronicled thanks in part to an emphasis on London in much English musical history. This thesis attempts to redress the balance by charting the development of local institutions in the fields of choral, orchestral and chamber music which were created by the industry and dedication of a small number of outstanding individuals, now long-forgotten, whose efforts in the cause of Leeds music are placed within their social and historical context. The influence of the Leeds Triennial Festival, that cornerstone of the city's musical reputation in the latter half of the nineteenth century, is considered along with the work of the two leading choral societies which dominated so much of Leeds musical life at the time. Pioneering enterprises, such as those to establish a permanent municipal orchestra in the city and a regular series for the performance of contemporary chamber music, are examined in detail against the backdrop of a society undergoing fundamental change. It is often assumed that the First World War brought a violent and sudden end to what might be viewed as a golden age in English music. This thesis will show how the forces of change were already being experienced within local musical institutions which were attempting to come to terms with them even as the apocalyptic events of 1914 were approaching.

Photo: Lizzie Coombes THE HEADINGLEY POSTIE Whether the weather is sunny or chill, The Headingley Postie rides over the hill, And into the suburb that she likes the most, To deliver her bag full of Headingley post, And as she distributes the Headingley mail, She’ll often pick up a few Headingley tales – Tales to astonish and tales to astound – Told by the people she meets on her round. 1 I first came to live in Headingley over 50 years ago, and spent the early years pushing“ a pram with baby and toddlers around the local shops: butcher, baker, Cowley’s the greengrocer, Groocock’s the upmarket grocer, with the occasional luxury of a coffee in Silvio’s café or a browse in Walker’s bookshop. Headingley became my familiar and much-loved home ground and long years later, after retirement from teaching and the Open University, I discovered the pleasure of finding out about its past, exploring its hidden corners and hearing the stories and memories of some of the people who had lived all their lives there. Joining the Thoresby historical society gave me access to a wonderful resource of maps, books, and pictures to help with research, together with other local archives. I started working on the history of our home in Woodbine Terrace (off Grove Lane) and that led on inevitably to an exploration of the history of the streets around and the village itself.

  • 8 March 2020 Programme. Over 100 Amazing
    Box Office: 0113 376 0318 leedslitfest.co.uk 1 4 — 8 MARCH 2020 PROGRAMME. OVER 100 AMAZING EVENTS IN 35 VENUES ACROSS LEEDSLITFEST.CO.UK THE CITY. Welcome to the Leeds Lit Fest 2020 Programme Leeds Lit Fest is supported by: Our 2nd Festival will see over 100 events take place between Wednesday 4th and Sunday 8th March in some of the city’s finest buildings and also some of its most unusual and unlikely locations. The Festival is intended to be like no other lit fest in the UK. Alongside events featuring some of the country’s finest writers will be both a number of quirky and unusual non-traditional literary events and projects, as well as an ‘Inspiring the city’ events programme happening throughout the city, not just in the city centre. No other literature festival has attempted to embrace a city-wide approach in this way and will mean the Leeds Lit Fest is the largest literature focused festival the city has ever hosted. Across the course of the 5 days, the Festival will host alongside talks, panel discussions and readings, a series of walks, theatre and music performances, spoken word nights, a sound installation, two immersive literature adventures, a film screening, and Live Art, in more than 20 venues. We want to inspire the city to get involved in writing so alongside this ambitious programme of events will be a number of creative writing workshops featuring some of the region’s finest writers passing on their expertise. There will also be a series of podcasts linked to these workshops that we hope will provide inspiration for as many people as possible to engage in writing.
