About the university
Leeds Trinity University grew from two Catholic teacher-training colleges that opened in Horsforth, Leeds, in 1966 and merged in 1980. It gained taught degree awarding powers in 2009 and later full university status. It is known for teacher education, journalism, psychology and, more recently, business and computing taught at its Leeds City Campus.
For Indian students the main draw is cost. International fees for 2026-27 are £12,000 a year for most bachelor's degrees and £15,000 for most master's courses, with September and January starts. Note that Leeds Trinity has paused new applications from students living in, or who studied in, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Jammu and Kashmir and Haryana, for intakes from September 2026 until further notice.
