Maureen Meikle, Head of Department
The Department of Humanities at Leeds Trinity has a dynamic and innovative team who teach and research English, History, Theology and Religious Studies. We are all student-centred academics who also happen to be prominent researchers. Most of the Humanities staff have PhDs in their subject area and share their research interests with students and colleagues, as well as publishing their work to reach a much wider audience.
Humanities programmes are designed to stimulate and engage student learning. As we are not a large department, students quickly get to know our academic staff in an atmosphere that is friendly, open and supportive. The placements that we offer our Humanities students are an excellent way of enhancing employability and they facilitate useful networking with both local and national organisations. Our graduates tell us that they have really enjoyed their time studying for a Humanities degree at Leeds Trinity University College. If you want to study a stimulating subject that prepares you for life and work, come and study with us!
Nicola Raine, BA Religious Studies
I chose to study Religious Studies as it allows me to contemplate the meaning of life. It gives me an insight into other cultures and ways of life which I find fascinating. I hope to teach Religious Education in the future and explore morality and its relation to society, especially in contemporary life. The Theology and Religious Studies department at Leeds Trinity is second-to-none. Advice and help is available when it’s needed and everyone is friendly and down-to-earth.
