At ˽·¿¾ãÀÖ²¿, we collaborate with businesses, community partners, third sector organisations, Government and learners to share our knowledge, expertise, skills, technologies and facilities to make a positive difference.

It’s a fundamental part of who we are as a civic university, with our roots firmly embedded in the city of Leicester and the region.
