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.

University Links

We have always had strong links with the University of Leeds.  We became a college of the University in 1991 and established a formal accreditation agreement in 2001. This means that our degrees are validated by one of the best universities in England. All our undergraduate and postgraduate degrees are currently accredited by the University of Leeds.  In July 2009 Leeds Trinity was granted the power to award its own taught degrees and became a University College. This means that students starting on an postgraduate degree course from September 2010 or an undergraduate degree course from September 2011 will have their degree awarded by 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 closer to 3,000… but we still hold onto the community feeling that makes us special.

Our campus continues to develop too, we’ve just built a new library and learning centre, a multifaith prayer space, a new sports and fitness centre and halls of residence.

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.
