Leeds Trinity University

Leeds Trinity University delivers higher and degree-level apprenticeships that combine paid employment with part-time academic study, enabling apprentices to gain a university qualification while developing role-specific skills in the workplace. The University has been offering degree apprenticeships since the national Apprenticeship Reforms and now works with local and national employers across sectors such as management, leadership, sales, supply chain and digital marketing to design programmes that align with occupational standards and business needs. Apprentices typically spend part of their contracted hours in taught sessions at the University’s Leeds City campus and the remainder applying their learning on the job, with structured work-based projects and portfolio development. Programmes are funded through the Apprenticeship Levy or government co‑investment, meaning there are no tuition fees for the apprentice, and they are supported by academic staff, workplace mentors and specialist services during their studies. In addition to apprenticeships, Leeds Trinity University offers a wider portfolio of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, professional qualifications and employer-focused training, underpinned by small group teaching and a focus on professional readiness and work-based learning.
