About us

With origins dating back to 1824 Leeds Beckett is a modern, professional university with a proud history and an ambitious future. Leeds Beckett is made up of several colleges, all with long histories including Leeds College of Technology, Leeds College of Commerce, Leeds College of Art, City of Leeds College of Education, Carnegie College of Physical Education to name but a few. Throughout our history these respected institutions were brought together, each bringing with them a strong focus on applied, professional education and problem solving to form the university we’re proud to be today.

Our objective is to improve our alumni activity to drive engagement, build long-term valuable relationships with our alumni for the benefit of our students. Our alumni engagement activity has been captured into four aims:

• To know our alumni better and what they want from, and can contribute to, our alumni engagement activities.
• To improve our communications activities with our alumni to become more timely and focussed, building our connections and driving their engagement.
• To retain and increase the numbers of alumni donors and the overall level of giving to our university.
• To raise awareness of our alumni engagement activities with staff and students across our university and add value to the alumni activities of our schools and services.

Leeds Beckett is proud to offer a range of services and benefits to our alumni community. We aim to maintain a lifelong relationship with you, long after you graduate. We offer support with your career as you break into your chosen field and the opportunity to work with current students once you’ve established your career, as well as all the latest news from your university.
