The original building work was completed at about the same time as England were winning the World Cup. The two colleges opened in September 1966 and merged to become Leeds Trinity & All Saints in 1980. In 2009, we gained university college status and the name of the university was changed to Leeds Trinity University College.

 
Course Variety

We started out as a teacher training college, and Education is still a big part of what we do, but we also have thriving faculties of Media, Business and Marketing and Arts and Social Sciences.

We’re passionate about what we do, so we continue to develop our courses - we were one of the first places in the UK to teach degrees in Forensic Psychology and Sports Journalism.

Continued Growth

When we opened in 1966 we had approximately 300 students. We now have more than 3,000, but we still hold onto the community feeling that makes us special.

Our campus continues to develop, too, with various improvements being made to improve our great university community.

Our Catholic Identity

Leeds Trinity is a Catholic University College. As an inclusive community, we seek to help all who live and work here to flourish.
