Facilities

The City Campus will offer a range of modern facilities and services to ensure students can have the best environment for learning, experience and collaboration.

While you’ll have access to everything you need for your course on the City Campus, students studying in Leeds will also be able to make full use of the additional facilities available at our Main Campus in Horsforth, just a short train ride from the new campus. This includes the Sports Centre, Media Centre, and the Andrew Kean Learning Centre.

Learning and teaching

Our City Campus will provide a range of learning spaces, study spaces and specialist facilities for the programmes we will run there, including a trading room, board room and business engagement centre, law court and custody suite, and specialist labs for our Computer Science and Construction and the Built Environment courses.

Students will also have access to study resources and a wide range of study and open learning spaces to support collaborative working.

The Library

You’ll find a bespoke Library space located on the third floor of the City Campus. The Library will offer a range of great study facilities, including a study lounge, Group Study Rooms, and a silent study area for when you really need to concentrate.  

There will be a range of books readily available at the City Campus Library, but students will also be able to request and reserve books located at the Main Campus that will be delivered to the City Campus. Students will also have 24/7 access to our extensive collections of e-books, electronic journals and databases.

The Library will also house the City Campus Helpdesk. The Helpdesk will provide in-person support for Library, IT and Media Services, alongside a Student Information Point for general queries. In addition to the Helpdesk, Liaison Librarians will also be available to provide in-depth support on referencing and making the most of library resources.

Student life 

Going to university is about more than just studying. It’s where you’ll make friends, memories and encounter new experiences. And as one of the best student cities in the UK, Leeds couldn’t be a better place to live and study.

You’ll start your degree with a bespoke line-up of Freshers’ activities taking place in and around the City Campus and the Main Campus. From there, you’ll be able to join Leeds Trinity Students’ Union (LTSU), and the Chaplaincy for events taking place at either campus throughout the academic year.

Both LTSU and the Chaplaincy will have dedicated spaces located on the 1st floor of the City Campus. A communal student lounge will also be located on this floor for you to relax and engage with their services. You’ll also be able to join a wide range of clubs and societies, with our sports clubs based at our Main Campus.

Our City Campus is located in the centre of Leeds, placing you just minutes away from everything the city has to offer. Opposite Trevelyan Square you’ll find Trinity Leeds, the city’s premier shopping centre which includes a cinema and nearly 100 shops, restaurants and bars. If you’re looking for something to do, visit Flight Club or Roxy Ballroom for a round of games, or visit one of the city’s many museums and galleries. 

Looking for somewhere to unwind?  At our City Campus, you’ll find a range of spaces for you to relax with friends, including a student lounge, courtyards, and an enclosed garden where you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.
