British School of Leather Technology
 Welcome
Welcome to the homepage for British School of Leather Technology, home to the University's leather technology courses.
The British School of Leather Technology (BSLT) was established with a grant from The Leathersellers' Company in 1976 with whom the University maintains strong links. The BSLT has both general and specialist laboratories for chemical and physical testing, as well as a tannery which allows students to gain hands on experience of all aspects of leather production. The tannery is the only one to be based in an UK university.
