Dear 

September seemed to arrive very quickly and now Leeds Trinity is really buzzing again with our new and returning students.

As we start a new academic year we received the great news that our Journalism offer is ranked first in the UK in the Guardian University Guide 2025, with our Law provision remaining in ninth place. Find out more.

If you are, or if anyone you know is, looking to start a rewarding career in teaching then join us for our next PGCE Open Day on Saturday 12 October, at our Main Campus in Horsforth. Book your place.

Our Alumni Officer, Brett Arnall, is known for travelling the country regularly to meet with alumni. These meetings have involved going to the BBC headquarters, more recently to McLaren F1, and even a photoshoot where he had to herd a few goats!

But one visit he'll never forget is when he met with alumnus Phil Cawley (Economics, 1979) at a Category B local remand prison in the North West of England. He sat in on a session where Phil spoke to inmates about the process of restorative justice, where victims of crime have the opportunity to meet their offenders. Find out more.

We are excited to tell you that Journalism & Media Week will be taking place from 4 to 7 November 2024.

#LTJMW is now in its sixteenth year and has established a reputation for bringing some of the most talented and well-respected people in the industry to Leeds. We will share the full programme soon on our JMW webpage.

We have a few sports fixtures taking place on Saturday 12 October and we're looking forward to welcoming alumni back from Football, Netball and Badminton.

We also look forward to hosting other matches throughout the year. Please get in touch with us if you are interested in organising a fixture in the future. Find out more.

Leeds Trinity is proud to be delivering the Help to Grow programme, starting on 23 October 2024. 

Help to Grow is a transformative and nationally recognised 12-week programme designed for senior managers in SMEs. It is 90% funded by the UK government and we are offering an additional bursary, meaning your business only pays £100 to receive a place on this prestigious programme.

If you would like to know more, you can register for a very short information session on Wednesday 2 October, 2:30 – 3:00pm. 

Find out more or for further queries email the team.

Join us in celebrating All Saints’ Day on Friday 1 November. This is a time for the Leeds Trinity University community to stop, reflect, give thanks and celebrate together.

The day begins with Mass at 11:00am celebrated by Fr Marc Homsey, Leeds Trinity University Priest Chaplain, and is followed by a free drinks reception and buffet lunch.

Music will be provided by the Leeds Trinity University Chapel Choir. Book your place.

Kafayat graduated from Film & Television in 2018 and we recently caught up with her when she helped to deliver an exceptional first Bradford African Festival of Arts (BAFA) for the city.

BAFA was a first of its kind, two-day event to showcase the beauty of African Culture. VIP guests included our Vice-Chancellor, Professor Charles Egbu, who spoke at the event. Over the two days there were over 2,000 attendees.

After the success of the event Kafayat told us that they are already thinking about next year: "After a thorough evaluation, the plan is to make BAFA an annual festival, next year’s will tie in nicely with Bradford City of Culture 2025 endeavours."  Full story.
