Dear 

March was kicked off in style with us hosting our 2025 Writers' Festival at our Horsforth campus. This was an extra special occasion as it marked the 20th anniversary of this prestigious event.

The Festival was expertly introduced by Professor of Creative Writing Oz Hardwick, and we were so proud that nearly all the breakout session hosts were Leeds Trinity alumni. See event images and performances.

2025 also marks the centenary of Virginia Woolf's novel Mrs Dalloway. To mark this, we have a call for poetry submissions inspired by Woolf's life, work and afterlives in stage, film and television presentations. Find out more. 

We were delighted to welcome back Elian Beaumont for the Writers' Festival.

It proved to be a busy day for Elian as he was in York later the same evening, scooping two prestigious RTS Yorkshire Student Awards. He collected two special Craft Awards for Cinematography and Editing for his films Find Me and Belonging.

This follows his success at last year’s RTS Yorkshire Student Awards and The Graddies Student Film Awards. Read more.

Earlier this month our Children, Young People and Families colleagues hosted an inspiring and thought provoking Champions of Childhood Conference at our Horsforth campus.

This event saw alumna Sadiya Salim (Psychology, 2015) return to speak on behalf of Child Friendly Leeds. More images from the event. 

Please join us at our Horsforth Campus at 5.00pm on Wednesday 30 April 2025 to celebrate the work of our final year Undergraduate and Postgraduate students in the Faculty of Business, Computing and Digital Industries.

Enjoy drinks, canapes and networking and meet students from Computer Science, Photography, Film, TV Production, Journalism, English, and Business programmes.

The student exhibition will be followed by a lively event in our auditorium featuring presentations of new works. Special guest speakers include a keynote from Emily Simpson, Director of Audiences at Opera North. Book your place: 

We’re hosting a Charity Football Match for Andy’s Man Club on Wednesday 14 May, 4:00pm-7:00pm on our 3G pitch at Horsforth.

We are excited to launch a new postgraduate course in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) at Leeds Trinity University in September 2025.

Integrating the academic study of language learning and teaching, applied linguistics and social justice with a professional placement or CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), the programme is a springboard for pursuing a career in English language teaching in the UK and around the world. Find out more.

On Wednesday 23 April we are looking forward to hosting our Race, Equity and Social Justice annual conference: Looking backwards to look forward.

This event will feature a mixture of keynote talks, workshops and a panel discussion which will be of interest to anyone who is interested in anti-racism, race, equity and social justice. Find out more. 

Recently we caught up with 2024 Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation graduate Libby Maguire. Libby currently manages every facet of player rehabilitation and medical care at Worksop Town FC, a Northern Premier League (Step 3) team, as the Head of Medical.

Despite only graduating last year, Libby has her own company, of which she is very proud. She says: "Starting my own company, Worksop Health Hub by Libby Maguire, in collaboration with the football team, is one of my greatest accomplishments". 

Being the cheerleading captain at Leeds Trinity for two years was one of Libby's favourite memories. She recalls: "Leading a team and applying what I learned on the course to create the cheerleading squad's performance and training standards was an incredible experience."
