Professor Katie Normington, Vice-Chancellor of De 51³Ô¹Ïapp University, said: “Leicester is a city full of opportunity and we want to give our graduates the best chance possible to find that out for themselves by staying in the city to further their study.

“The graduates from University of Leicester and 51³Ô¹Ïapp go on to be the doctors, nurses, lawyers and business leaders across the city.

“Through this offer, we want our graduates to build on their skills, deepen their specialisms and develop a deeper understanding of their chosen industry while receiving a significant discount from the city’s universities.”

Professor Nishan Canagarajah, President and Vice-Chancellor at the University of Leicester, said: “By drawing on the expertise at Leicester’s two universities, we want to offer both 51³Ô¹Ïapp and University of Leicester graduates the opportunity to take the next steps in their chosen careers.

“Graduates already provide a rich seam of talent to our city through their creativity, thirst to learn, and unique viewpoint in tackling some of the world’s most pressing issues. Through this new collaborative offer, we will be able to help more graduates realise their potential, right here in Leicester.”
