9 January 2025

The Lifelong Learning Centre helps adults who want to start studying at the University of Leeds. Their next JumpStart course starts on Wednesday 5th February, 5-7pm. The course runs from 5.00-7.00pm every Wednesday for 8 weeks, with 2 additional sessions on Saturday mornings.

They also run optional maths sessions 4-5pm, before the Jumpstart sessions for any Jumpstart participants who want to build their confidence in maths.

Free Jumpstart course: a university taster course for adults

Jumpstart is a short, free course aimed at adult learners who would like to find out more about what higher education can offer them.

It’s designed to fit around your other commitments and build the skills, understanding and confidence in yourself as a learner that you’ll need for university. 

Apply here for the next ‘JumpStart’ course starting Wednesday 5th February⭐

This is what participants from the most recent course in November said:

It has made me realise that education is available to everyone, regardless of their age or situation. Taking the first step to achieve your potential is made far easier by courses such as Jumpstart, as it encourages further development by giving you the confidence to make the change.

It has made me realise that adult learners can be just as valuable as younger students because of our previous life experience.

I really appreciate the opportunity to do this course and the knowledge and confidence I have gained from it is everything to me. It’s been a great learning experience and urge anyone to push through the nerves and just do it.
