This course is unique in the UK and makes our graduates highly sought after by employers. During this course you are able to specialise in and focus on an aspect of the leather industry that you find particularly interesting. You will be exposed to a number of science disciplines and interact with industrial experts during workshops and seminars.

Our three-year Honours degree course is a complete preparation for entry into the leather industry. Our graduates can work in tanneries and leather chemical companies around the world or, with the increasing demand for leather skills amongst the top leather-using brands, in the sports, luxury goods, footwear, automotive and fashion sectors.

Graduates from this programme are in high demand. We routinely see 100% of graduates entering employment around the world (internal statistics) since the university receives more requests from employers than we have graduates to fill their vacancies.

Our graduates have entered technical management within the leather industry, chemical sales and technical support within research and development departments. Others have become advisers on leather purchasing for clothing, upholstery and automotive industries.
