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. You must be a novice or complete beginner in the sport(s) or activity. In this specific module, the main sport is Hockey. If you are already a hockey player this module is NOT for you. Currently there is a range of individual sports or activities from which you can choose including badminton, canoeing/kayaking, dance, multi outdoor activities, orienteering, rock climbing, squash, table tennis and tennis - please see the other LEED1011 - 1020 modules.'Skills' modules, those coded LEED, are designed to help you to enhance many of the non-subject specific, transferable skills that top employers are seeking in graduates. The Leeds for Life website (www.leedsforlife.leeds.ac.uk) gives you some examples of which skills can be developed through the LEED modules and other activities. At a time when competition for jobs is intense, developing such skills is one way to gain an advantage in the employment market. Think about your existing skills, strengths and weaknesses, and then select a LEED module that will not only complement your existing skills portfolio, but also set you an interesting and enjoyable challenge.
