Study at Leeds Trinity University

Location and student life

Leeds Trinity is based on a green campus at Brownberrie Lane in Horsforth, north-west Leeds, where it has been part of the local community since 1966, with a second site, Leeds City Campus, at Trevelyan Square a few minutes from Leeds station. The Horsforth campus combines teaching buildings, the library, sports facilities and halls in one place, and some facilities are open to the public. Students can choose a quieter suburban base or city-centre living, with the shops, music venues, restaurants and student life of Leeds easily reached from either.

Courses and subjects

The university's five academic schools are Business and Law, Computing and Creative Industries, Education and Childhood, Health and Life Sciences, and Social Sciences. Well-established areas include teacher education and PGCE courses, journalism, sport-related degrees, nursing and allied subjects, criminology, psychology, law and recently expanded computing master's degrees. Many undergraduate degrees offer a four-year route with an initial foundation year across ten pathways, giving an alternative entry point for students who do not yet meet direct entry requirements. Postgraduate options span taught master's degrees, PGCE teacher training and Masters by Research programmes.

Entry requirements for international students

Undergraduate applications from international students are made through UCAS, while postgraduate applicants apply directly using the course application forms, with regional officers available to support applicants from Africa and South Asia. Typical English language requirements are IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no component below 5.5, though Nursing, Biomedical Science, Social Work, Creative Writing and TESOL set higher scores. Academic requirements differ by country, so check the relevant country page and the English language requirements page for your course, as requirements vary by programme.

Accommodation

Leeds Trinity houses students across two locations: en-suite halls on the Horsforth campus (All Saints Court, Fountains Court, Kirkstall Hall and Trinity Close) and Clarence Dock Village near Leeds city centre. For 2026/27 weekly rents range from about £119 to £155, with bills, Wi-Fi and insurance included. Halls have 24/7 security and live-in resident mentors. The university guarantees first-year undergraduates a place in en-suite accommodation when they book before the published cut-off date.

Scholarships and funding

International Student Scholarships are applied automatically in the first year with no separate application: Nursing undergraduates receive £2,000, while selected postgraduate courses such as Computer Science, Data Science and AI, Digital Marketing, International Business, Journalism and the MBA receive £3,100 (£3,350 for the MBA). Leeds Trinity graduates with a 2:2 or above can also claim a 30% Alumni Scholarship on postgraduate tuition. Awards change each year, so confirm current values on the university's international tuition fees page before applying.
