Leeds Trinity University has climbed 22 places in the 2026 Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide, thanks in part to fantastic student feedback which ranks the institution as second in the country for Teaching Quality and Student Experience.

The University went up from 102nd to 90th in the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide, which evaluates universities across the country against criteria such as entry standards, graduate prospects, student grades and continuation rates.  

The guide authors commended Leeds Trinity’s “close-knit atmosphere” and also highlighted the “superb feedback” in the latest National Student Survey (NSS), where it ranks second in the UK for teaching quality and the wider experience. 

Other highlights picked out included the commitment to offering placement opportunities as an integral part of learning and ensuring the curriculum is constantly adapting to changing employer needs ensures that Leeds Trinity graduates are industry-ready and have the skills needed to start their careers at the end of their studies. 

The success in this latest guide follows a 29 place rise in the Guardian University Guide, which saw Leeds Trinity secure its highest-ever ranking. 

Professor Charles Egbu, Vice-Chancellor at Leeds Trinity University said: “I am extremely proud to see this improvement and recognition, which reflects the hard work and dedication of all our colleagues and university community. Our continued upward progress in the national rankings is reflective of our mission to open up the benefits of higher education to as many people as possible and our work to ensure our students have the best experience at Leeds Trinity University. 

“It also further strengthens our reputation as a modern, professional University that offers excellent career-led education and personal support, ensuring our students are seen as a name not a number.” 

Leeds Trinity University expanded its facilities with the opening of its Leeds City Campus in October 2024. The City Campus is home to courses in Business, Law, Computer Science, Criminology, and Construction and Built Environment – subjects expected to thrive and grow in the heart of the dynamic Leeds economy.  Leeds Trinity’s City Campus complements its Main Campus at Horsforth, which has a public sector focus through teacher training, health and life sciences, and policing apprenticeships, alongside expertise in psychology, sport, journalism and media. Both campuses stand out through their close-knit culture and strong sense of belonging, where students can access one-to-one support.
