Leeds Trinity University

Leeds Trinity University is a small university with a big reputation, known for producing highly employable graduates thanks to the professional work placements included with every undergraduate degree. In fact, 97% of graduates are in employment or further study 15 months after graduating (Graduate Outcomes, Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) published 2022).

All students here receive the support they need – in and out of the classroom – to achieve their potential. That’s why Leeds Trinity is top in Yorkshire for overall student satisfaction (Mainstream universities in the National Student Survey 2022).

The University’s traditional strengths are teacher training and theology, but recent investment has taken place to develop media studies and journalism degrees, with full studios in a number of areas available for students. A number of new courses have been launched in recent years, including two year degrees in education and sport, and tourism and leisure management.

Leeds Trinity students also benefit from a professional work placement with every degree. Companies include Sky Sports, Sue Ryder, Oxfam, Morrisons and Asda.
