Let me introduce you to our programme of activities, developed by the Schools and Colleges Liaison Team at Leeds Trinity University College.

We have developed a package of events designed to assist teachers, students and their families in making the right decisions armed with the right knowledge regarding progression throughout education to higher education.

The package aims to support your efforts in raising the aspirations of your young people, so that they can discover their own potential and fulfil their educational ambitions.

Some students will already know the path which they would like to take while others may find it more difficult to navigate and Leeds Trinity are committed to making this personal journey as easy and informative as possible.

Leeds Trinity activities are delivered by an energetic team who provide fun and informative events on our campus or at your institution to meet the needs of your students and staff.

We are sure that we can offer you what you need and are happy to discuss your exact requirements.

Welcome

With over 3,000 full and part-time students we operate on a scale that allows us to get to know our students well and provide a very high level of support across all areas of student life. Visitors from local schools and colleges are impressed by the friendly community they experience on campus, and surprised by the number of varied courses we offer.

We fi rmly believe that our graduates should leave us well prepared for employment and all our undergraduate degrees have a strong professional focus with periods of work placement and lots of practical experience. Our well-established links with local business, industry, schools and colleges offer our students many opportunities to gain relevant experience and a head start in the job market.

Our campus has everything students need, with great places to live - £3 million investment into new halls of residence - help and support on hand, a modern library and learning centre, a busy Students’ Union and a superb sports and fi tness centre, all on a single spacious site with easy access to Leeds.
