Interesting to read our Vice-Chancellor, Anne-Marie Kilday discuss the importance of a degree in her latest blog. One key point being, 'By the age of 31, graduates are earning 37 per cent more than non-graduates with at least two A-levels – £30,750 and £22,500, respectively' Even more so in health professions, where your degree as a Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist, Paramedic, Nurse or Podiatrist starts your NHS career at £29,970 as a newly qualified professional. While also putting you at the center of a service that saves and improves lives.

Brilliant blog from our Vice Chancellor on the life changing power of Higher Education.

I am pleased to share our third Integrated Annual Report at the University of Leeds, accessed in the link below. This year marks a milestone in the University’s rich history. In 1874, the Yorkshire College of Science was established in Leeds to support the region’s wool and textile industries. The College would go on to merge with another institution, Leeds College of Medicine, before joining institutions in Manchester and Liverpool under the auspices of the Victoria University. In 1904, we took the leap on our own and the University of Leeds was founded. A century and a half later, the enlightened founders of the College would be proud. The University is one of the UK’s largest, with internationally recognised excellence in teaching and research, close to 40,000 students and a place among the world’s top universities. While we operate from a position of strength, there are significant challenges ahead if we are to maintain our position. We are operating in a more volatile student recruitment market. Global higher education is becoming more competitive, as other countries invest in their university systems. Notwithstanding these challenges, we believe the University of Leeds is well placed to succeed with our new Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Shearer West, and our Integrated Annual Report shows the fantastic activity undertaken over the last 12 months and the opportunities and challenges we face over the next year. Take a look. https://lnkd.in/e4Zm8gk3
