How to Visit Leeds Trinity University on an Open Day
Updated
Leeds Trinity University runs Open Days that you book in advance through its website — the "Book an Open Day" and "Book your place" links are the entry points. The university describes an Open Day as "the best way to get a feel for university and experience life as a student," and says you can use it to find out about student life, support and the courses you're interested in. This guide is for prospective students (and anyone accompanying them) who want to see the campuses in person before deciding whether to apply.
What an Open Day covers
According to the university, booking a place at an upcoming Open Day lets you discover more about:
- Student life — what day-to-day study and campus life look like
- Support — the services available to students
- Your course(s) of interest — the subjects you're considering
The university frames the visit around the idea that "not all degrees are built the same," so the Open Day is positioned as the way to find out what sets Leeds Trinity apart.
Before you book: know which campus
Leeds Trinity has two campuses, and your course will be based primarily at one of them:
| Campus | Location | Opened |
|---|---|---|
| Horsforth Campus | Horsforth | 1966 (the university's original site) |
| Leeds City Campus | Heart of Leeds city centre | October 2024 |
Both campuses are described as designed to give easy access to everything you need for university life. Even though your course is based primarily at one location, the university says you benefit from the facilities, support and opportunities available across both locations. When you book, it's worth checking which campus is most relevant to the course you want to see.
How to book an Open Day
- Go to the Leeds Trinity University website (leedstrinity.ac.uk).
- Use the "Book an Open Day" or "Book your place" link.
- Choose from the upcoming Open Days listed on the site.
- Book your place in advance — the university presents booking as the way to secure your spot.
The site also offers a "Find your course" search covering Study levels: Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Apprenticeships. Checking your course before you visit helps you target the right sessions on the day.
Why the timing might matter to you
Leeds Trinity highlights two recent accolades on its homepage, which may be useful context when deciding whether to visit:
- University of the Year for Student Experience 2027 — The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide.
- Top University in the UK for overall student satisfaction — based on the NSS 2026 positivity score (% agree) across the 17 NSS questions used in TEF 2023, compared against institutions in the Times UK University Rankings 2026.
The university also notes it has been delivering higher education for more than 50 years, and describes itself as providing "outstanding student-centred higher education."
Practical points to keep in mind
- Book ahead. The Open Day is a scheduled event with places to reserve, not a drop-in visit.
- Decide what you want from the day. The university lists student life, support and courses as the three things an Open Day helps you explore — bring questions for each.
- Check the campus. With two locations (Horsforth and Leeds City Campus), confirm where the event or your course sessions are based.
- Use the course search first. Browsing Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Apprenticeship options beforehand makes the visit more focused.
If you're still at the stage of asking "What is Leeds Trinity University?" or "What study levels does it offer?", the Open Day is a reasonable next step once you've narrowed down a course — it turns the website information into a first-hand look at the campus and student experience.
