INSPIRE UK PROGRAMME 2021/22 SUPPORTING STUDENTS INTO HIGHER EDUCATION
LEEDS TRINITY UNIVERSITY INSPIRE UK PROGRAMME 2021/22 Leeds Trinity University is a small university with a big reputation. We are renowned for producing highly employable graduates, thanks to the professional work placements included with every undergraduate degree. This has helped 93% of our graduates, who are in employment or further study 15 months after graduating (Graduate Outcomes, Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) published 2020). Students studying at Leeds Trinity will be part of a distinctively supportive university community where they are a name, not a number. Our students receive the personal support they need – in and out of the classroom – to achieve their full potential. You can access a virtual tour of our campus by visiting leedstrinity.ac.uk and searching campus tour. To support you and your students in making the best possible decisions for their future in Higher Education, Leeds Trinity University’s School and College Engagement team have designed the Inspire UK Programme to both support your students to make informed decisions about their future while also supporting you to meet key Gatsby benchmarks. Inspire UK includes a virtual offer to complement all our face-to-face sessions which can be streamed straight into the classroom. Excitingly, this year we are again able to deliver our flagship Post-16 Summer School on campus for underrepresented students to visit us, stay over and get a taste of university life at Leeds Trinity University completely free of charge. To book or enquire about any of the below activities and events, please get in touch at SCLHello@leedstrinity.ac.uk or call us on 0113 283 7186.
