Discovery modules Personal Interests and Professional Exploration Discovery modules
Please note this webpage is currently undergoing changes ready for the 2026/27 academic year.
Transform your time as a student by choosing modules that make the most of your time at Leeds and prepare you for your future.
The benefits of enrolling on a Personal Interests and Professional Exploration Discovery module
This theme gives you opportunities to develop skills, experience new things, and adapt your knowledge to real-life situations.
Some of these modules will help make you more employable. Some will send you beyond campus organising events, teaching others, or working with the community. Some will give you skills and approaches that you can use during your time at Leeds – in your presentations, assessments, and final year project. But they all do more than this: they’ll help you take advantage of the fantastic ways that Leeds offers you to develop yourself, and to do this within your degree.
