The Leeds Institute for Teaching Excellence (LITE) is a community of excellence in research and innovation in student education with the aim of establishing the University of Leeds as a sector leader in teaching practice and scholarship.

The Institute provides funding, time and support for current and future student education leaders to develop their profile at the University and to develop innovative practice and carry out pedagogic research to demonstrate internal and external impact and understand student learning.

We have embarked on an exciting journey to appoint and support a community of Fellows who will have time to develop projects and establish a culture of high quality scholarship for external dissemination and publication. We provide an exciting programme of education focused events for all staff ranging from informal special interest groups to an annual conference with external contributors.

LITE aims to provide a supportive community for anyone involved in student education at the University of Leeds.
