Global Leadership Forum

The University of Leeds Global Leadership Forum brings together hundreds of students from across the University to engage with a global network of visionary leaders representing massive international brands, as well as unsung heroes who make change happen.

About the programme

The Global Leadership Forum is an online leadership programme.

The programme will allow you to stand up and take ownership of the leadership that will define you, your generation and the impact you will have on the world — and to demonstrate this by earning the embedded Global Leadership micro-credential.

You will be able to choose from four different masterclasses and four different leadership insight sessions, enabling you to explore key themes and issues with a range of expert speakers, including recent Leeds graduates.

Each session will be facilitated by Common Purpose, a leadership development organisation that specialises in cross-boundary leadership. Common Purpose is a not-for-profit organisation running programmes in more than 70 cities worldwide.
