About Leeds Alumni
For all graduates of the University of Leeds.
Leeds Alumni Description
Welcome to the Leeds Alumni Page.
Here you can catch up with old course mates, share your post-graduation news and reconnect with old friends.
We'll also bring you information on our events and University of Leeds news, too. It's almost as good as being back on campus (but not quite! )
