REAL STUDENTS,REAL STUDENT LIFE
At Leeds Trinity you’ll fi nd that you’re a name and not a number. Meet our real students who will be your guides to student life!
LEEDS – A STUDENT CITYLeeds has a culturally diverse population and
is one of the largest centres for university
education in England, making it vibrant, fun and
student-focused.
Easy
Leeds Trinity’s campus is in Horsforth, north
west of Leeds and a short bus or train ride from
Leeds city centre and the popular student areas
of Headingley and Hyde Park. Horsforth has
all you need for your day-to-day needs (banks,
supermarkets and newsagents) and the odd
night out (pubs, bars and restaurants).
Shopping
Shopaholics already know you can’t beat Leeds
for sheer breadth of retail experience. Whether
it’s bustling high streets and markets, quirky
independent shops or the upmarket designer
chic of Harvey Nichols, there really is something
for every taste and budget.
> Real Students > Leeds - A Student City > 1110 > Real Students > Leeds - A Student City >
Sounds
The live music scene in Leeds is one of the best
in the country. There are many outdoor gigs
including the massive Leeds Festival and on
top of this there are countless indoor venues
offering something for all tastes.
Clubs
Leeds has one of the best clubbing scenes in
the country, and it just keeps getting better.
Many clubs hold regular student nights so you
can dance away pretty much every night of the
week. Shuttle buses run direct to and from our
Students’ Union on some nights.
Thriving
The city has a broad economy and is the second
largest employment centre in the UK, covering
the full range of business sectors. Many of our
graduates like Leeds and its work opportunities
so much they stay to pursue their careers in the
city.
> Real Students > Leeds - A Student City > 1312 > Real Students > Leeds - A Student City >
BEYONDLEEDSBeyond Leeds and within easy reach there is
plenty to visit, see, taste and get involved with.
Sports
If you’re the active type, look no further. Leeds
has miles of open parks and countryside,
with more green space than anywhere else
in the country*. There is also easy access to
the magnifi cent Yorkshire Dales, with plenty
of opportunities for hiking, climbing or even
potholing.
Sights
From museums and galleries, to fi lm, art, opera
and theatre, Leeds and beyond really does
have it all. Bradford ‘the City of Film’ is home
to the National Museum of Photography, Film
and Television. Opera North and The Northern
Ballet are based in Leeds. The West Yorkshire
Playhouse has also earned a reputation as the
‘National Theatre of the North’.
Events
Whatever your interests there are events and
festivals galore in the area. Leeds hosts its own
International Film Festival, as well as the Live
at Leeds indie music festival and a jazz event
every year.

LIVING OFFCAMPUSLeeds has a thriving student population and
many students live off campus in popular areas
such as Horsforth, Headingley or Kirkstall. All
of these locations have great public transport
links with Leeds Trinity and we run a popular
free shuttle bus to and from campus to the
shops and local facilities in Horsforth.
For handiness you can’t beat leafy Horsforth,
which together with Kirkstall is popular with
some fi rst year students and most second, third
and fourth years. Or if you prefer, the student
hotbeds of Headingley and Hyde Park provide a
lively and accessible experience.
It’s worth noting that some students live with
their families and travel from all over Yorkshire
to study with us – Leeds is very well served by a
good motorway network that means travel from
slightly further afi eld is defi nitely an option.
Leeds Trinity University College and Leeds
Trinity Union have a partnership arrangement
with Unipol student homes www.unipol.leeds.
ac.uk which provides our students living off
campus with services to ensure they choose
appropriate homes within the private sector.
The accommodation complies with the 2004
Housing Act and the landlord adheres to the
ANUK accreditation scheme www.anuk.org.uk

For team players
We have a broad range of sports teams on
campus operating at many levels, from having a
bit of fun to serious competition.
Many of our sports teams here play at a
recreational and competitive level and are
affi liated to BUCS (British Universities and
College Sports).
Our male and female football teams both play
in competitions at a national level and it isn’t
unheard of for the teams to visit Barcelona,
Antwerp or Paris for their end-of-season tours.
Our rugby history is something to be proud
of – even if you’re not a rugby fan. We’ve had
a successful run in the national league in
recent years, supported by excellent training
delivered by a nationally-recognised coach on
campus. Five of our rugby league players have
represented England Students Rugby League.
We also have a ladies rugby union club.
Golf bursaries
If your passion for sport is found on a golf
course, you can apply for a bursary of up to
£1500 (dependent on individual strengths)
through Leeds Trinity to the Royal and Ancient
Golf Club of St Andrews. These bursaries are
intended as fi nancial support to improve your
game while studying full-time. Male applicants
need to have a handicap of at least one and
females should be playing off at least three.

STUDENTS’UNIONJOHN JOE MULHERINSTUDENTS’ UNION PRESIDENT
When I started my studies at Leeds Trinity I discovered the genuine sense of community from both students and staff. My degree in Theology was interesting, insightful and varied; it also led me to ask many new questions that I shall go on to explore.
I found the learning environment to be vibrant, with plenty of opportunity for personal development, growth and deeper understanding. Studying in this environmentinspired me to get involved in all aspects of student life and last year I was elected as Leeds Trinity Union (LTU) President.
As well as providing a voice for students on campus, I help to make sure that our superb Students’ Union – which is run by students – offers the support, activities and entertainment our students want.
I believe the experience on offer at Leeds Trinity makes it a great place to study for a degree, but don’t take my word for it, come and see for yourself at one of our Open Days.
Make sure you don’t miss out on the Leeds Trinity experience.

THE STUDENTS’ UNION PROVIDES ACTIVITIES, ENTERTAINMENT AND EVENTS. IT ENSURES THAT THE STUDENT’S VOICE GETS HEARD AT EVERY LEVEL.
34 > Information > Students’ Union >
STUDENTS’ UNION
When you start on a course at Leeds Trinity you
automatically become a member of LTU (Leeds Trinity
Students’ Union). LTU represents your needs as a student
and aims to create an inclusive, fun and open Students’
Union. We host activities, entertainment and events and
ensure that the student’s voice gets heard at every level.
The Students’ Union building is home to HQ, the on-campus
bar, complete with games, pool tables and vending
machines, making it an excellent place to start your evening
or dance until the small hours.
LTU organises regular entertainment on and off the campus
and has a wide range of sporting and social societies. At the
start of the year you will receive an entertainment calendar
highlighting all the events. If you can’t fi nd what you’re
looking for, then let us know – LTU will happily help you
explore the possibility of setting up a new society, group, or
activity.
Also on tap is support and guidance on a range of issues
such as fi nance, health, accommodation and your
academic studies. If you are struggling with anything at all,
we’re here to help – all you have to do is ask.
The Students’ Union has two paid full-time offi cers. They
are themselves Leeds Trinity students, and are elected by
students. They have a dedicated team supporting them in
achieving their goals and aspirations for their year in the
job.
There are many ways to get involved in the Students’ Union;
you can join our clubs and societies, become a student
councillor, join our entertainment and events team, or get
involved with the course representative system. There’s
always plenty to do and opportunities will be made
available to you from the day you start.
Sports teams include men’s and women’s football, rugby
union and basketball. There’s men’s rugby league and
cricket, and women’s netball as well. We also have a
student newspaper, a TV production society, creative writing
and debating societies, and a whole range of other groups.
Our famous Freshers’ Week provides a full week of
entertainment to help you settle into life as a student,
including nights on and off campus with live music, DJs and
celebrity guests and the week’s festivities are brought to a
lavish conclusion with the Freshers’ Ball, which is not to be
missed.
Once Freshers’ Week is over, the entertainment continues
with regular nights of live music and comedy, DJs, karaoke,
quizzes, and open mic nights. Every Monday and
Wednesday we arrange regular transport to sample the
delights of the best Leeds city centre nightclubs.

WORK PLACEMENTS
93% of our graduates were working or studying for further
qualifi cations within six months of completing their
degree.
These results refl ect our dedication to preparing our
students for the real world of work. The career-focused
learning and practical experience elements of our courses,
combined with the social and volunteering opportunities
we provide, give you an excellent kick-start to your job-
hunting.
Professional work placements
Professional work placements are much more than work
experience. They offer you the chance to put the theory of
your course into practice in a real working environment,
forming an integral part of your degree.
At Leeds Trinity you’ll usually spend six weeks on an
assessed placement in each of your fi rst two years of study.
During your placement you will be actively involved in a
work environment, making use of and refl ecting on the
skills you are developing. This will provide you with a range
of practical experience and self-awareness, helping to
guide your career choice and putting you ahead in the
graduate job market. Many of our students gain their fi rst
job, either directly or indirectly, from contacts made during
their placements.
Your academic tutor and employer will assess your
preparation for and performance during your placement
and you need to achieve a pass in order to progress to the
next level of your course.
Your placement can be organised by our Employer
Partnership Offi ce, but if you have your own contacts you
can make your own arrangements in Leeds, elsewhere in
the UK or overseas.
Examples of placement host employers include; retail
companies; advertising and PR agencies; voluntary
organisations; newspapers and magazines; TV and radio
stations; sports and health organisations; schools and
extended services, and the list goes on.
You can carry out an extended placement for local voluntary
and community organisations on selected courses in the
second year of study. Many of our students choose to
continue volunteering beyond the placement period as they
fi nd the experience rewarding and the new skills and
responsibilities so valuable to their course and future
career prospects. If your goal is to start your own business
one day, you can do a more enterprising placement
developing business skills while raising money for charity.

SCHOOL-BASED TRAINING
If you study Primary Education you’ll undertake a block
placement in one of our partnership schools in each year
of your course.
Trainees undertake a two-week placement in the spring
term of their fi rst year then return to the same school for a
seven-week block in the summer term. In the second year,
the two weeks of preparation and fi ve-week block
placement fall in the spring term. Trainees are placed in a
different school in their third year when the block
placement is in the autumn term. At the end of the
placement in the third year, there is a two-week period in an
alternative setting outside school where learning takes
place eg. nurseries, hospitals, leisure centres etc. In their
fi nal year trainees return to their second placement school
and have a two-week (12 days) preparation period in school
in October before undertaking an eight-week placement in
the spring term. The course involves at least 32 weeks of
school-based training.
Leeds Trinity has partnerships with schools in Leeds,
Bradford, North Yorkshire, Kirklees, Calderdale and
Wakefi eld and with Catholic schools within the Dioceses of
Leeds, Salford, Hallam, Middlesbrough, and Hexham and
Newcastle.
The decision about allocation of trainees to schools will be
made in consultation with schools, Education staff and the
Partnership offi ce, to provide the best possible training
opportunity.
Leeds Trinity is involved in Language Learning Programmes
where Junior Years trainees have an opportunity to
undertake part of their training in Spain or Germany in Year
3 of their course.

VOLUNTEERING
Volunteering can give you the opportunity to have a
positive impact on the lives of others whilst also
providing many benefi ts to yourself. It allows you to make
a difference whilst meeting new people, working in new
settings and equipping you with new skills and
experience. All this can provide a real opportunity for
personal and professional development and growth.
At Leeds Trinity we believe that volunteering is an integral
part of your student experience and encourage our
students to become involved in many interesting and varied
projects. We have a dedicated Volunteer Coordinator, as
well as a Community Sports Development Offi cer, who both
work to support, encourage and enhance student
volunteering.
These dedicated staff have developed links and
partnerships with many local and regional organisations,
charities and the sporting community. This allows you as a
Leeds Trinity student to engage in many varied and
numerous volunteering activities matched to your own level
of interest and availability.
Volunteering opportunities are numerous and varied and
include; working as a reading volunteer in local schools,
supporting refugees with literacy and numeracy skills,
writing fi lm reviews and features and having your work
published on line, befriending an elderly or disabled person,
giving advice and support to others in need via a Helpline
service, protecting and regenerating the environment on
urban conservation projects, as well as many sporting
events and activities happening locally which rely on the
support from volunteers – sports coaching; teaching sport
in a school environment or helping out with a sports event.
If there is a volunteering opportunity you would like to tell
us about or something you would like to be involved in that
we may not have thought of before, then let us know! We
are here to help you make the most of your student
experience and hope that volunteering will be an integral
part of that.
And remember, all this and you are working to increase your
employability – two thirds of employers believe graduates
with voluntary experience add skills to their workforce,
79% of graduate recruiters believe graduates with
voluntary experience progress more quickly and some
students engaging in volunteering have been offered paid
work as a direct result of their volunteering experiences.

FAITH AND SPIRITUALITY
Many people consider that faith and spirituality are
essential to their lives – it’s part of who they are and what
they do.
Our understanding of this stems from our Catholic
foundation but you don’t have to be a Catholic to come to
Leeds Trinity. We have a friendly and vibrant student body
that’s made up of people from a wide range of faiths and
cultures.
The Chaplaincy at Leeds Trinity is committed to principles
of inclusivity and community, supporting the spiritual,
social and personal needs of students and staff. We
organise regular and varied social events and have a large
lounge for relaxing in – the Chaplaincy is a place for
welcome and hospitality, as well as prayer.
We have a resident Chaplain who is a Catholic priest, an
Assistant Chaplain who is a religious sister and a full-time
Chaplaincy Assistant, and we have links with
representatives of other denominations and faiths.
Leeds Trinity has a large chapel where we hold a variety of
services and events. It also has a multi-faith prayer space
which provides individuals and groups with a calm and
peaceful area in which to practise their faith and includes
facilities for ritual washing. The chapel and the multi-faith
prayer space are available to all students every day.

BUSINESS, MANAGEMENTAND MARKETINGPROFESSOR KEITH JOHNSONHEAD OF DEPARTMENT
The recent world-wide credit crunch has dramatically demonstrated the state of fl ux in the business environment. Businesses all across the globe need to adapt and respond to these changed conditions. In order to do so, they need a workforce of fl exible thinkers: people who can apply and adapt what they already know to different and changing circumstances.
It is my job as the head of Business, Management and Marketing to ensure that the graduates we produce have these skills and abilities. With that aim in mind, we need to set and deliver a challenging curriculum, one that encourages adaptive and innovative student behaviour. Consequently, the Department is trying to deliver more of its material in non-traditional ways and to make the best use of the virtual learning environment to extend and enhance what happens in the classroom. Flexible and adaptive graduates need fl exible and adaptive teachers. We need to learn together.

planning and law.
Your theoretical studies will be put into
practice through two external work

JOURNALISMCATHERINE O’CONNORHEAD OF DEPARTMENT
Working as a journalist is never anything less than exciting andchallenging.
It requires a curiosity about everything going on around you, the ability to talk to people from all walks of life and a desire to bring to light what is going on in the world at all levels, from local community issues to global events. Technology has transformed journalism and made news access faster than ever and given reporters real choices about how they deliver information to their audiences.
Studying Journalism and keeping pace with the constantly shifting news agenda is always fascinating, whether it’s honing your writing skills and considering how best to use different media to tell stories, or delving into the academic side and weighing up trends in the news media and their impact on audiences.

PSYCHOLOGYBRUCE RAINFORDHEAD OF DEPARTMENT
Psychology remains a popular degree choice, not only because of its inherent interest and applied nature, but because employers recognise that psychology graduates possess a useful combination of transferable skills.
Having been involved in the recruitment of psychology graduates in the past, I understand the need for graduates to be able to transfer theory to practice. The two work placements offer students the opportunity to do just that, in a real work setting. This and our carefully designed British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited curriculum, contribute to the successful employment of our students upon graduation.
Whilst lecturing staff are engaged in research and practice (which informs our teaching) teaching remains our priority and students benefi t from greater access to lecturing staff and to the support they offer.

LET’S TALK ABOUT MONEY
Financing your studies
Knowing how much it’s going to cost to go to university will
help you plan, prepare and budget for your studies.
Tuition fees
Universities and colleges offering higher education courses
are able to charge tuition fees of up to £3,290* per year.
Fees differ for foundation degree courses and for overseas
students. At Leeds Trinity, we will be charging the full
annual tuition fee for all eligible full-time undergraduate
honours courses but you won’t have to pay these before you
arrive. You’re entitled to take out a tuition fee loan from the
government which covers the cost of your fees. For
students who are progressing from a foundation degree at
Leeds Trinity to study for a BA or BSc Honours, the annual
tuition fee for the honours top-up is reduced by 50%.*
Student loans
The government offers two different types of student loans
– a tuition fee loan to cover the cost of tuition fees and a
maintenance loan towards your living costs to support you
through your studies.
Paying back student loans
The amount you pay back each month to the government
will depend on what you earn after you graduate, not on the
size of the loan. When you start earning over £15,000* a
year you will start to pay off the combined amount of both
loans by paying back 9% of your income above that amount.
If your earnings stop or fall below £15,000* at any point
your repayments will stop.
Tuition fee loan
You can apply for a loan to cover the cost of the tuition fee
Leeds Trinity is charging you every year. This money will be
then be paid straight to us on your behalf.
Maintenance loan
You can apply for a loan every year to cover things like
accommodation, books, equipment, food, bills, etc. All
students are entitled to at least 72% of the maximum
fi gure; the remaining 28% will depend on your household
income and the amount of government grant you are
receiving.
Your Circumstances Maximum Maintenance
Loan Rates 2010/11*
Living away from home £4,950
Living in the parental home £3,838
Government grants
Depending on your household income, you may be eligible
for a government grant that you do not have to pay back.
This could be as much as £2,906* to contribute to the cost
of living.
The level of grant you receive depends on your household
income. If you receive a maintenance grant it will be in part-
substitution for the maintenance loan. The maximum
support you can receive with the grant and loan is £6,403*.
If you are eligible for some means tested benefi ts you may
receive a Special Support Grant instead of a Maintenance
Grant. Please visit www.direct.gov.uk/studentfi nance for
further details of how the grants work.

“NO-ONE IN THE UK SHOULD BE PUT OFF STUDYING BECAUSE OF POTENTIAL STUDENT DEBT. DONE RIGHT, IT’S VERY DIFFERENT TO NORMAL DEBT. IT’S ONLY REPAID WHEN YOU FINISH STUDYING, AND IF YOU DON’T EARN ENOUGH WHEN YOU LEAVE (AND OF COURSE ONE REASON FOR STUDYING IS TO ENABLE YOU TO EARN MORE) YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR IT!”Martin Lewis www.moneysavingexpert.com

ADULT LEARNERS
If you are 21 or over and considering studying for a higher
education qualifi cation, then Leeds Trinity is defi nitely
the place for you.
We know that taking the big leap to return to study can be a
diffi cult decision, but as an adult learner at Leeds Trinity,
you can take advantage of a whole range of friendly and
student-focused facilities.
If you need it, we also provide additional activities and
support for you as an adult learner:
- The Return to Learn Programme – this 4-day programme
provides additional transitional support at the start of
your studies and helps you meet other adult learners;
- Social events throughout the academic year that also
provide support and guidance;
- A designated Students’ Union Adult Learner Offi cer – to
ensure that you receive equal representation amongst the
student body;
- Freshers’ Week and other social activities, including a
Christmas party;
- Careers Advisers to help you with career planning and job
hunting.
If you’re interested in studying here but have few formal
qualifi cations from your previous educational experience,
please contact us to fi nd out about other routes that you
can take to an undergraduate degree course.
Accredited Access Courses
Colleges of Further Education throughout the country run
Access to higher education courses. Successful completion
of an accredited Access programme will qualify
you to enter many degree courses at various higher
education institutions. Leeds Trinity welcomes students
with this qualifi cation and considers all applications
through this route.
Direct entry for adult learners
If you gained qualifi cations a number of years ago which
may now be outdated or appear to have no direct relevance
to the subject you want to study at degree level, then you
may be offered a Mature Entry paper to satisfy the level 3
basic entry requirement. Please note that this is not a GCSE
English language equivalent qualifi cation. This paper is set
by individual departments at Leeds Trinity and usually
consists of an essay style question or series of questions –
it’s not an examination. Details will be sent to you once a
conditional offer of a place has been made.
Accreditation of prior learning
We recognise that you may have previous certifi cation or
experience which makes you suitable for entry onto a
course, or exemption from modules or part of a course.
Leeds Trinity has procedures for the accreditation of prior
and experiential learning. This means that you can gain
credit for prior learning, enabling you to gain entry onto a
course, or entry at a different level.
For more information on the fi nancial implications of
returning to higher education contact our Student Adviser.
Call 0113 283 7173 or email
studentfi [email protected].
For more information about the applications procedure for
adult learners, contact Admissions on 0113 283 7123 or
email [email protected].
Part Time study
Most of our undergraduate programmes can be studied on
a part time basis. For more information about part time
courses, contact Admissions on 0113 283 7123 or email
As a part time student you take fewer classes each year but
study for your degree over a longer period of time. You’ll still
receive the same high level of teaching and support as if
you studied full time. Part time students study a minimum
of 20 credits (equivalent to one module) and a maximum of
60 credits (three modules) in each year. As a guide, 20
credits equates to approximately two hours of taught study
per week during term time.
Applications for part time study should be made directly to
Leeds Trinity (not via UCAS).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NB. BA Primary Education courses leading to QTS do not
qualify for part time study.

SUPPORTING STUDENTS WITHDISABILITIES OR DYSLEXIA
We don’t believe a disability should prevent you from
making the most of your time at Leeds Trinity. Students
with dyslexia or disabilities are selected on the same
academic criteria as other candidates.
Dyslexia & Disability Support Services arrange support for
students who have a disability, medical condition or
dyslexia. This support may include making minor building
adaptations, allocating a support assistant or specialist
equipment, or making alternative assessment
arrangements.
Most of our on-campus halls are close to the learning and
social facilities. Some of the rooms have been designed to
meet the needs of students with mobility or hearing
impairments.
We strongly recommend that you contact the Dyslexia &
Disability Support Co-ordinator in advance to help make
your visit easier if you are attending an Open Day or
Applicant Day. You’re also welcome to arrange an informal
visit to Leeds Trinity – this will give you the opportunity to
tell us about your individual needs and help us to set up
support before you arrive. On top of this, we can help you
apply for Disabled Students’ Allowances. If you are eligible,
these grants can provide you with additional equipment or
pay for study support tutorials.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
Leeds Trinity University College has an increasing number
of international students from Asia, Africa, America and
continental Europe. Our Student Support Centre and
International Offi ce provide support for international
students and an assigned progress tutor will look after
your academic welfare whilst you are studying here. We
know our international students personally and offer
enhanced support and assistance so you will soon feel at
home.
A full induction programme at the start of the academic
year offers international students an opportunity to fi nd
their way around and meet other students and staff. An
ongoing programme of activities is on offer to help students
enjoy their time in Leeds, including welcome lunches in the
fi rst few months of each academic year, trips to the theatre
and the cinema, excursions to historic or scenic sites, and
sports and social events.
All non-EU international students can be accommodated in
one of our halls of residence on campus during the fi rst
year of their studies at Leeds Trinity if you apply in time. We
will advise you on how to apply for a room when you are
offered a place on your course. If you prefer to live off
campus, Leeds has a good choice of rental properties to
house its student population and you can get help and
advice from Leeds Trinity on fi nding a place to live.
Entry requirements for international students
In addition to the standard A Levels, International
Baccalaureate qualifi cations and other Level 3 equivalent
qualifi cations, we also welcome applications from
international students who successfully complete a
recognised foundation course.
English language entry requirements
The undergraduate entry requirements in English for
students whose fi rst language is not English are normally
as follows:
- IELTS – 6.0 overall, with 5.5 in listening and reading, and
5.0 in speaking and writing

- TOEFL (computer-based test) – 213, with 4.0 (Essay
rating)
- TOEFL (IBT) – 79, with no section below 18
We recognise that international students may need
additional support in the initial months of their time in the
UK, so we offer training on study skills, as well as an
accredited English language module for international
students in their fi rst year. One-to-one advice
from a professional writer is available for written
assignments through our skills support service.
Applicants who have narrowly failed to meet the English
language requirement but have the appropriate academic
qualifi cations for admission to a degree course may in
some cases be considered for admission to a degree
programme after successful completion of our pre-
sessional English language course or InterAccess
foundation programme.
Fees
Fees for international students are in the region of £7,900
per annum.

For Primary Education courses, selection will involve our
staff and teachers from partnership schools. You will be at
an advantage if you have had some relevant experience,
either observing in a children-focused activity or working in
a school.
Interviews and Applicant days
We’ll contact you once we receive your application. Some
subject areas require an interview before offering you a
place. More often, however, departments will make you an
offer based on the information provided on your application
form.
All successful applicants (those who are offered a place or
selected for interview) who apply before the 15 January
2011 deadline will be invited to come to an Applicant Day.
These visits give you an opportunity to look around the
campus and fi nd out more information about the course

HONOURS DEGREE STRUCTURE
Leeds Trinity degree programmes lead to a BA or BSc
Honours and most programmes take three years to
complete, with the exception of Primary Education (QTS)
programmes which take four years. All our programmes
include periods of professional work experience.
Modules and credits
Our undergraduate programmes are delivered in modules
that are credit rated under the National Credit
Accumulation and Transfer Scheme (CATS). You can
accumulate credits and keep them should you need to take
a break from your studies, change to part time study or
transfer to another institution.
Each undergraduate degree programme is divided into
units called modules, which are normally worth 20 credits
each. As a full time student, you’ll register for modules
totalling 120 credits in each academic year (usually taking
six modules in each academic year).
If you study a Primary Education programme, you’ll
complete a six to eight-week placement of school-based
training in each year. You’ll also undertake shorter visits to
the partnership school prior to beginning your placement.
In most other undergraduate programmes, you’ll complete
work placements during Levels 1 and 2. Professional work
placements are an integral part of your studies and carry
credits which count towards your fi nal degree.
Semesters
The Leeds Trinity academic year is divided into two
semesters. The fi rst semester begins in September and
ends in December, just before Christmas.
Following a three to four-week vacation, you return for a
second semester in January, which continues until June.
This semester also includes a three-week vacation at
Easter.
If you study Primary Education, your fourth year of study
will differ from this pattern. As you will mainly be working in
schools, our campus-based teaching takes into account
the term dates of our partnership schools.
How your work is assessed
In most cases, the work that you do within each semester is
assessed during or at the end of that semester.
Occasionally, coursework completed throughout the year
may be assessed at the end of the second semester. This
means that you will receive regular feedback on your
progress and there will be no big build-up to the end of year
exams.
Level 1 results don’t contribute to your fi nal degree result,
although you must complete the level satisfactorily in order
to progress to Level 2. Results from Level 2 onwards
determine the classifi cation of honours you will be
awarded.
Study abroad opportunities
We operate several programmes that offer opportunities for
studying for part of your degree in another country. These
include ERASMUS in the EU and links with several partner
institutions in the USA. Studying abroad provides a great
learning and cultural experience.
ERASMUS
The ERASMUS programme is funded by the
EU and encourages student mobility between member
states. We have links in a number of subject areas and can
give you the opportunity to spend from three months to a
full academic year in another country.
USA
Our exchange programmes offer the opportunity to study in
America for one semester or one academic year (normally
your second year) whilst obtaining credits towards your UK
modular degree.

MINIMUM ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Undergraduate Courses
Leeds Trinity has a minimum entry requirement for all
undergraduate courses which you must have satisfi ed by
the time you take up your place. You usually need to have a
minimum of fi ve qualifi cations:
- at least two of these should be full A2 levels (or equivalent
level 3 qualifi cations);
- at least one of these should be GCSE English language at
grade C or above (or equivalent qualifi cation).
In addition to the above, your other qualifi cations may carry
UCAS tariff points which would contribute to the total
number of points required to meet an offer.
Foundation Degrees
- One level 3 qualifi cation (e.g. A Level, NVQ 3, BTEC Award);
- GCSE English language at grade C or above (or equivalent
qualifi cation);
- Part time engagement in some form of relevant work
experience (paid or voluntary).

system available at www.ucas.com/apply. The application
fee for this service is £21 sterling for more than one choice,
or £11 sterling for a single choice.
1. Students at a school or college registered with UCAS
All UK schools and colleges (and a small number of
establishments overseas) are registered with UCAS to
manage their students’ applications. You will need to
obtain a ‘buzzword’ from your tutor or careers adviser
which you will need when you register with UCAS. Once
you have completed your application, you submit it to
your referee who will send the completed application to
UCAS on your behalf. You pay for your application either
by credit or debit card online, or by paying your school or
other registered centre who will then pay UCAS.

Other UK applicants, who are not at school or college,
apply online independently and are responsible for
paying the correct application fee, for obtaining and
attaching the academic reference and for submitting the
completed application online to UCAS. Your referee
should know you well enough to write about you and your
suitability for higher education. We do not accept
references from family, other relatives or friends. You will
need to make your payment online using a credit or debit
card. The card need not be in your own name, but you will
require the consent of the cardholder.

school or college is registered with UCAS. Advice is
available from British Council offi ces and other centres
overseas, such as your school or college. You are
responsible for paying the correct application fee, for
obtaining and attaching the academic reference and for
submitting the completed application online to UCAS.
Your referee should know you well enough to write about
you and your suitability for higher education. We do not

EMPLOYABILITY - BENEFITS OF PROFESSIONAL PLACEMENT
One of the best places to study in the UK for building your
employability skills.
Results from our most recent graduate destination survey
show that an incredible 94% of our graduates were working
or studying for further qualifi cations within six months of
completing their degree.
In fact, we were ranked no.1 “Best for Jobs” in the Sunday
Times University Guide in 2005.
These results refl ect our dedication to preparing our
students for the real world of work. The career-focused
learning and practical experience elements of our courses,
combined with the social and volunteering opportunities
we provide, give you an excellent kick-start to your job-
hunting.
Professional work placements
Professional work placements are much more than work
experience. They offer you the chance to put the theory of
your course into practice in a real working environment,
forming an integral part of your degree.
At Leeds Trinity you’ll usually spend six weeks on an
assessed placement in each of your fi rst two years of study.
During your placement you will be actively involved in a
work environment, making use of and refl ecting on the
skills you are developing. This will provide you with a range
of practical experience and self-awareness, putting you
ahead in the graduate job market. Many of our students
gain their fi rst job, either directly or indirectly, from
contacts made during their placements.
Your academic tutor and employer will assess your
preparation for and performance during your placement
and you need to achieve a pass in order to progress to the
next level of your course.
Your placement can be organised by our Employer
Partnership Offi ce, but if you have your own contacts you
can make your own arrangements in Leeds, elsewhere in
the UK or overseas.
Examples of placement host employers include; advertising
and PR agencies; voluntary organisations; newspapers and
magazines; TV and radio stations; banks; sports and
coaching organisations, schools, and the list goes on.
You can carry out an extended placement for local voluntary
and community organisations on selected courses in the
second year of study. Many of our students choose to
continue volunteering beyond the placement period as they
fi nd the experience rewarding and the new skills and
responsibilities so valuable to their course and future
career prospects.
If your goal is to start your own business one day, you can
do a more enterprising placement developing business
