Sustainable Development Goals

Impacting the Global Goals by developing education for good with research excellence and engagement

At the heart of the UK, Leicester is a leading university committed to international excellence, world-changing research and high-quality, inspirational teaching. Celebrating diversity among our staff and students; widening participation in higher education; engaging with local, national and international communities - all of these are part of what we do and who we are.

We have committed to contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as one of the first UK higher education signatories of the SDG Accord in September 2017.

We have completed an analysis of our current contribution to the SDGs through teaching, research and operations.
