Nicky Danino, Head of the School of Computer Science at Leeds Trinity University, said: "We are thrilled to announce our membership with the Council of Professors and Heads of Computing. This collaboration opens new avenues for our students and faculty, enabling us to participate in national-level discussions and initiatives while staying at the forefront of advancements in the field. We look forward to working alongside our respected colleagues within CPHC and making valuable contributions to the computer science community." 

James Davenport, Treasurer of The Council of Professors and Heads of Computing, said: “Computer Science, whether under that name or Information Technology, Artificial Intelligence or Data Science, is having an ever-greater effect on everyone’s lives. Hence, it is wonderful to see another university equipped with a Computer Science offering, both a fundamental BSc and an MSc in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. It is important for the U.K. that as wide a range of people as possible be given the opportunities to study these important subjects, so Leeds Trinity’s commitment to widening participation is especially important here. The Council of Professors and Heads of Computing hopes to see Computer Science grow at Leeds Trinity over the coming years.”
