Choosing what you want to study at university, and where, is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. You need to make sure you get plenty of information to make an informed decision about your future, which is where Open Days come in.

Open Days are your best chance to meet students and lecturers, find out more about your subject choices and get a feel for the University where you may spend the next few years of your life. Each of our 2014 days will be packed full of activities designed to make sure you leave

with a clear picture of the subject you will be studying, and why you should do your degree at Leeds Trinity University!

This handy guide will help you plan your day with us so that you can make sure that you have the time to see everything we have to offer.

Ask lots of questions, chat to our students and staff and, above all, enjoy the day!

We can’t wait to meet you!The Open Day Team

Welcome to Leeds Trinity University

InformationFair

Information FairTaking place in our Sports Centre, the Information Fair is the starting point for your day. After registering, go to the Sports Hall where you’ll have the opportunity to meet representatives from a range of academic and student support services. All of our academic departments will have stands at the fair, with lecturers and students on-hand to give you

advice about our range of undergraduate, postgraduate and foundation courses. If you’re looking to do a joint honours course, make sure you visit the stands for both courses to get all of the information that you need. You’ll also get the opportunity to meet representatives from our student support services.

RegistrationWhen you arrive on campus, the first thing you need to do is register. There are two registration points on the day - in the Sports Centre and at the main Reception. The campus map at the front of the guide shows you where they are. Please bring your registration slip (which we sent to you in the post) for a quick and easy registration process.

Hi!We’re Miki and Neil, the President and Vice- President of Leeds Trinity Students’ Union (LTSU). It’s our job to make sure that students have the best time here at Leeds Trinity, with the best social activities, the best societies and the best representation. We’re also here to make sure that students’ voices are heard, right from the word go.

There are four key components that make up what we do at LTSU: Events; Clubs and Societies; Student Welfare Service and Representation.

LTSU organises some really exciting activities. We organise all the LTSU nights out, as well as alternative events to make sure that there’s always something on offer for everyone. We also enter all of our sports teams into the British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) league, so that students get to compete against other universities and other students’ unions. This is a great way to get to know people, both at Leeds Trinity and other universities! It’s also an excellent opportunity to showcase our students’ sporting talents when we lift the trophy at the end of the league!

Welfare is something that is so important to all students, so we have a specialist Welfare Advisor, Adam, who runs drop-in sessions twice a week. These sessions are completely free

and confidential, and we can help with anything from health, housing, local travel and discounts, to mental health enquiries, crime and safety. The list goes on!

Finally, LTSU works tirelessly to make sure that the student voice is heard. We take students’ thoughts and ideas all the way to the University’s Board of Governors, making sure that students are really listened to. We represent students in all of the University’s plans, ensuring that everything the University does has students’ best interests at heart. The students really are the centre of our community and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

At the end of the day, we’re here to support you, to represent you, and to put your needs first. We’ll be in the Information Fair during the Open Day, so come and say hello and ask us as many questions as you like!

Leeds - An amazing city

Welcome to LeedsLeeds is one of the UK’s largest cities and is home to hundreds of thousands of students! It’s renowned for its amazing nightlife, culture and shopping, as well as being an internationally recognised major centre of learning. So what do you need to know about what’s on your doorstep at Leeds Trinity?

Leeds City CentreLess than 15 minutes away from Leeds Trinity by train, Leeds is an amazing student city and whatever your interests, you’ll be spoilt for choice with activities when you arrive here. If you like shopping, you’ve probably already got the city’s latest shopping experience, Trinity Leeds, in your sights. You’ll find all of the biggest names in there like Superdry, H&M and Hollister and the largest Topshop outside of London, as well as student-friendly restaurants Wagamama and Yo Sushi, the first Everyman Cinema outside of London and lots more.

Headingley and Hyde ParkJust a few miles away from Horsforth are the legendary student hubs of Headingley and Hyde Park. Headingley is where the majority of students in Leeds live and congregate, and is filled with a variety of pubs, bars, cafés and restaurants as well as lots of student flats and houses to suit many budgets. No trip to Headingley is complete without a visit to The Original Oak, which has a huge beer garden that’s perfect for those hot days. Hyde Park is another popular area for students, boasting a more alternative scene with a variety of quirky cafés, restaurants and bars. It’s also home to Brudenell Social Club, an intimate venue renowned for hosting an eclectic range of high quality gigs, as well as Hyde Park Picture House, known as Leeds’ premier art-house cinema.
