The new Leeds Curriculum launched in September 2014 and forms the basis of all our undergraduate programmes. There are now exciting opportunities for three members of academic staff to develop the Broadening aspect of the enhanced curriculum by becoming Discovery Theme Leaders.
Reflecting global challenges and the breadth of exciting disciplinary and interdisciplinary work going on at Leeds, Discovery Themes give our students the opportunity to pursue their interests and complement their core subject in a structured way by taking discovery modules (previously electives). The Discovery Theme Leaders are responsible for co-ordinating, implementing and further developing the academic vision for one of the interdisciplinary Discovery Themes listed below:
- Ethics, Religion and Law
