OUR IMPACT

We place huge importance on our role as an anchor institution for Leeds and the wider region, maximizing the benefit our presence delivers directly and indirectly to our communities.

Leeds Beckett makes a significant impact to the economy, through our teaching and learning, our research and the value of our spending.

We commissioned London Economics, leading specialist economic and policy consultants, to analyse the university’s economic impact on the UK economy.

Every year, the university delivers a £1.43bn impact on the UK economy. This represents a return of more than £6 for every £1 spent on university operations.

Every student completing the first degree experiences a net earnings benefit of £67,000 and delivers a net benefit to the public purse of £60,000.

This economic benefit sits alongside the broader impact of the thousands of highly skilled graduates we produce every year, and our world-leading research making a difference to the major challenges of the 21st Century such as climate change, health and inequality.
