Enabling our
people to thrive

Rooted in collaboration, the White Rose University Consortium is a strategic partnership between the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield, and York. 

We're the only university consortium in the country dedicated exclusively to people development, supporting every career stage and every staff group, from academic to professional services.

We offer tailored support and cross-institutional initiatives, so everyone has a fair path to develop and progress.

By pooling the strength of three universities, we go further than any one institution could alone.

No matter which university you call home, our resources and career stories are built to support professional services colleagues and researchers at every stage.
