The zero bias conductance of quantum dots coupled to ferromagnetic leads is investigated. In the strong coupling regime, it is found that the conductance is a non-monotonic function of the angle between the magnetisation directions in the two contacts. This behaviour is an effect of the presence of the leads which induces an angle dependent spin split of the quantum dot states, and spin flip transitions between the quantum dot states whenever the magnetisation directions of the leads are non-collinear which enhances the current density at the chemical potential. In the weak coupling regime, the system reverts to normal spin valve character.
