Leeds Trinity University is a small university with a big reputation. An employer-focused university with extensive industry links, Leeds Trinity University is renowned for teaching excellence; high student satisfaction; and for producing highly employable graduates. Founded as a teacher training college in 1966 with just 300 students, today the University has over 3,000 students and offers undergraduate honours BA and BSc degrees, postgraduate degrees and certificates, and foundation degrees in a variety of subjects in the areas of humanities, journalism, education, media, business and marketing. Leeds Trinity University pioneered the inclusion of professional work placements with every undergraduate degree, and they remain an integral, assessed part of every degree. This means that all of its students graduate with degree-related work experience, and as a result, 91% of its graduates are working or studying six months after graduating according to the latest statistics from the HESA Destination of Leavers Survey 2012.
Leeds is an amazing student city. One of the UK’s largest cities, it has a population of around 200,000 students and is renowned for its nightlife, culture and shopping, as well as being an internationally recognised major centre of learning. Leeds Trinity is located in Horsforth, just a short train or bus journey from Leeds city centre. Travel times from the city centre are 20 minutes by car, 30 minutes by bus, and 10 minutes by train. Leeds is about two hours from London by train, and by car there's easy access to the A1, M1 and M62.
The University operates a free shuttle bus service to all campus users and visitors which connects the University to Horsforth Railway Station and the amenities of Horsforth. The shuttle operates weekdays during term time. There are three pre-9 a.m. services running from Horsforth Railway Station to Leeds Trinity followed by a twice hourly circular service continuing until 6.45 p.m.
At Leeds Trinity, all facilities, including accommodation, lecture theatres, classrooms, student support services, dining, and sports facilities are located on a green, leafy campus with amazing views over the suburbs of Horsforth and Cookridge.
Students enjoy low-cost rates at Trinity Fitness, our sports centre which includes a sports hall, a fully-fitted fitness suite with free weights area, two treatment rooms, a movement and spin studio, a gymnasium (incorporating dance studio facilities) and two squash courts. Outdoor sports facilities include three full-size rugby/football pitches, six dedicated tennis courts, two multi-use hard courts and a running track. The most recent addition is a 3G Astroturf Pitch, which is the latest generation of 3G synthetic turf accredited by FIFATM for football and the FIHTM for Hockey.
The University is also represented by a variety of teams in football, rugby union and rugby league, cheerleading, badminton, and netball among others. More information can be found online. Our student bar and venue, the Lounge, was redeveloped and opened in January 2013. It offers students a fantastic, central, 24/7 social facility on the main campus, offering hot and cold food and drink, plus a bar at pre-set times. Further consultations are planned with students to determine if future developments are needed.
The Finance Office has been relocated to opposite the Student Administration office, designed to improve accessibility and create a one-stop-shop corridor for all student administration and finance related queries.
