Module summary

This module offers a unique chance to learn the skills of a new sport or activity, to learn about your own style of learning and to apply this to another of your academic modules. By taking part in a sport or activity that they have never participated in before students will learn and develop a range of new skills and abilities linked to their chosen sport/activity. Activities include Strength and Conditioning, Climbing, Squash and Multi Outdoor Activities (MOA). MOA includes hill walking, orienteering, climbing, caving, ghyll scrambling and night navigation amongst others. These activities are added and changed according to the weather.Through a number of taught lectures, activity meetings and tutorials, students will consider how they have gone about learning these new skills and how those approaches might be applied in the future both academically and in the workplace.Students will be assessed on the identification and application of this learning as well as reflecting on what this all means in the widest context for their professional development.Choosing from the above list, after enrolment you should email LEEDmodules@leeds.ac.uk with your first and second choice of activity. Your timetable will then be updated accordingly. Information about the full portfolio of LEED discovery modules can be found at https://sport.leeds.ac.uk/modules/
