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.

24 > Real Students > Living on Campus >

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.

BA SINGLE HONOURSTHEOLOGY

We live in a world that poses great

questions of human experience. How is

God known? Who am I? How can I

understand the world around me? In

what can I believe? The Judeo-

Christian traditions have focused on

these probing questions for millennia,

and form the basis for engaging with

these questions in creative and

revealing ways.

Theology at Leeds Trinity will introduce

you to traditional and contemporary

ways of exploring this broad fi eld,

providing you with unique access to

the rich traditions of the past and the

present. You will encounter theology as

a living discipline that informs debate

and evolves in its thinking, and you’ll

encounter new ways to make sense of

the mysteries of faith in the modern

world.

During year one and year two of your

Theology degree you’ll undertake a

professional work placement that will

allow you to explore your graduate

career options. These career paths

could include working with

professional societies, schools,

ministerial placements, pastoral

centres and law fi rms, or to continue

on to further postgraduate studies.

understanding of religion and

We are invited to speak at universities, festivals and gatherings both here and in the UK and abroad.

This is an exciting time to be studying in the areas of Media, Film and Culture with the rise of citizen journalism, of web-based networking, online radio, catch-up TV and open access archives such as You Tube. There has never been so much material so easily available, or so many philosophical and ethical issues to consider. This is our world in Film, Television and Media. You are welcome to join us!

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.

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

> Other Information > Adult Learners > 139

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

[email protected]

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 (paper-based test) – 550, with 4.0 (TWE)

- 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.

explain how your qualifi cations fi t into this tariff can be

found inside the back page. Additional requirements for

individual courses are also given in each course entry in

this prospectus.

If you have few formal qualifi cations, you may still be

considered based on relevant work and life experience.

If you gained qualifi cations a number of years ago which

may now be outdated or which have no relevance to the

subject you want to study at degree level, then you may be

offered a Mature Entry paper to satisfy Level 3 equivalence.

APPLYING

When you apply to Leeds Trinity what matters most is

your aspiration, motivation and passion to learn. We are

committed to nurturing and supporting you during your

degree.

We welcome students with a range of qualifi cations and

we will personalise our entry offer to you.

How to apply

Applications for BA and BSc undergraduate degrees at

Leeds Trinity University College are made through the

Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS).

UCAS no longer offers a paper application facility and all

applicants are asked to apply online. Nearly all schools and

colleges offer the facilities for applying online through the

UCAS website using Apply (www.ucas.com/apply).

If you have any queries about using Apply please contact

the UCAS Customer Service Unit on +44 (0)871 4680468.

Apply may also be used by those applying independently in

the UK and overseas.

Applications for part time study and foundation degrees

should be made directly to Leeds Trinity (not via UCAS).

Please contact the Registry Services admissions team on

0113 283 7123 or email [email protected] for

an application pack.

When to apply

UCAS can start receiving applications for Autumn 2011

entry from 1 September 2010 and the closing date is 15

January 2011. You’ll give yourself the best possible chance

if you apply as early as possible once you’ve decided on

your course and institution.

UCAS does accept that some applicants will need to apply

later (especially from outside the UK, in which case the

closing date is 30 June 2011). UK late applications are

processed by UCAS up to 30 June 2011 and we will continue

to consider them where possible.

Forms received by UCAS after 30 June 2011 will be held for

Clearing.

Deferred entry

You are entitled to defer entry if you want to take a gap year

before starting university.

You can declare your intention to defer from the outset. It

will have no effect on the selection process and your

application will be judged in the usual way.

If you decide to defer after we receive your application, you

will need to make a written request direct to the Registry

Services admissions team at Leeds Trinity

([email protected]). We’re usually able to

accommodate these requests.

The selection process

We use various criteria including:

- your personal statement;

- your academic reference and predicted grades;

- your existing qualifi cations;

- your experience and skills;

- your career ambitions.

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

before making your fi nal decision.

A visit will involve:

- interview or activity;

- subject-based presentations;

- campus tour.

> Other Information > Honours Degree Structure > 147

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.

146 > Other Information > Minimum Entry Requirements >

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).

through UCAS using Apply. This is an online application

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.

2. Independent applicants in the UK

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.

3. International applicants outside the UK (EU and

worldwide)

Individuals from the EU (excluding the UK) and worldwide

apply online independently, except for those whose

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

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.

4680468, open Monday to Friday, 08:30 to 18:00 (GMT).

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

All students will be required as a condition of enrolment to abide by, and to submit to Leeds Trinity University College procedures, as amended from time to time. The guide to regulations is set out in the Student Directory which is available from the website at http://www.leedstrinity.ac.uk/services/registryservices/Documents/StudentDirectory200910.pdf.

We will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver courses in accordance with the descriptions set out in this prospectus. However, we reserve the right to make variations to the contents or methods of delivery of courses, to discontinue courses and to merge or combine courses, if such action is reasonably considered to be necessary by us in the context of its wider purposes. If we discontinue any course, we will use reasonable endeavours to provide a suitable alternative course.

We cannot accept responsibility, and explicitly exclude liability for, theft of, or damage to students’ property, including transfer of computer viruses to students’ equipment.

Leeds Trinity is enriched by a student body which refl ects diversity and includes students from all parts of the UK, including the local area, other EU countries and students from further afi eld. Applications from mature students (over 21 years of age) are welcome and will be considered on the basis of the experience gained, as well as the whole range of formal qualifi cations achieved. Our admissions policy is directed towards the selection of students who have the ability and motivation to benefi t from their intended programmes of study and who will make a positive contribution to Leeds Trinity.

Leeds Trinity is required to operate rigorous and effective procedures for the assurance and enhancement of quality and standards. These procedures include systematic opportunities for student involvement as an essential and highly valued element of the quality process.

Reports produced as a result of this scrutiny are available on the websites of the organisations concerned; alternatively hard copies may be obtained by writing to the Academic Registrar, Leeds Trinity University College, Brownberrie Lane, Horsforth, Leeds LS18 5HD. In addition, provision in Psychology is subject to scrutiny by the British Psychological Society (BPS).

The Framework for Higher Education Qualifi cationsEach stage within a programme of study is commonly referred to as a ‘level’. The Framework for Higher Education Qualifi cations (FHEQ) has fi ve levels, three of which are undergraduate and two are postgraduate.
