OUR OFFERING At University Centre, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. That is why we offer a variety of degrees to support everyone’s differences, from foundation degrees to teacher training qualifications.

Foundation degree and top-up degree routes

The foundation degree and top-up degree route is a vocation-focused option that provides an alternative to a three-year full honours degree. It combines academic study with work-related learning and workplace skills. Typically lasting two years, the foundation degree offers the same level as the first and second year of a full honours degree, while the top-up degree lasts 12 months and is the same level as the third and final year.


Different route, same qualification

At University Centre, we understand this and offer a host of business development opportunities to keep you up to date with current industry knowledge, skills and procedures. Our offerings cover an array of sectors, including business, law and accounting, and depending on the course, you will be awarded a diploma or certificate. Our full course options are available from page 141. Entry requirements are dependent on each individual course. For more information, please visit leedscitycollege.ac.uk/professional.

FEES AND FUNDING Tuition fees

Funding is available to support you throughout your studies. Tuition fee loans cover course costs regardless of household income and are paid to us by the Student Loans Company. Ineligible or self-funding students will pay an initial payment of 25% at enrolment. This is followed by six consecutive monthly direct-debit payments to cover the remaining tuition fee for that academic year. Part-time students are eligible if they are completing at least 25% of the equivalent full-time course load each year. Potential government policy changes may impact available funding and changes to student finance regulations are published regularly on the government website. You can also apply for a loan to help with living costs. The maximum amount varies each year and the amount you receive will depend on household income. Additional non-repayable support, such as Parents’ Learning Allowance, childcare funding and Disabled Students’ Allowance can cover any extra study costs incurred due to childcare commitments or disability.

University Centre Leeds Prospectus 2022


For guidance with your student finance application or other queries about finance, please contact our HE Progression and Wellbeing Officer at hestudentsupport@ucleeds. ac.uk or call 0113 235 4661.

The University Centre also offers a number of bursaries to support you while you study. If you have a household income of £25,000 or less (as assessed by Student Finance England or other relevant funding body) and are studying a full-time undergraduate course, you will be eligible for a cash bursary of up to £500 for each year of your course. You will not need to apply separately for this bursary, as it will be automatically granted by the funding body.

Working out your budget

The calculator on the student finance website will give you an estimate of how much student finance you may be entitled to before you apply.

Repaying student loans

You will only start repaying your loans in the financial year after you graduate, and when your income is above £27,295.

Learning difficulties and disabilities

Students with learning difficulties, long-term physical and sensory impairments or mental health difficulties can discuss their needs with staff who will help determine the best support option. These range from one-to-one sessions and adapted materials to learning support workers, assistive technology and mobility assistance. “I can get frustrated when trying to word sentences correctly and understand feedback; however my tutors are great at talking through my work with me and are committed to my progress.” Level 6 student and disability support recipient Chloe Brown Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) Our dedicated support staff will help you apply for DSA if needed. This is paid on top of other finance and covers the costs incurred due to your disability, such as specialist equipment, assistive technology, non-medical helpers and extra travel allowance. If it is decided through the assessment process that you need a specific computer, you may need to pay the first £200. The allowance doesn’t have to be repaid, and is based on your individual needs.

LIFE IN LEEDS By moving to Leeds, you will be part of a vibrant city that is rich in culture and heritage with a growing student population. Whether you love splashing out in the shops or sampling new cuisine, you will be spoiled for choice in a city that’s often referred to as the ‘Capital of the North’.

44


Shopping

Old meets new with Leeds’ beautiful arcades that sit side by side with modern shopping centres. Trinity Leeds features favourite shopping spots such as Primark, H&M and Boots; Briggate is home to Zara and The Body Shop; and be sure not to miss vintage favourites such as Pop Boutique, Cow and Blue Rinse. If you prefer independent stores, check out the arcades within Victoria Leeds which are home to luxe boutiques such as Anthropologie, SpaceNK, Jack Wills and more. With the ornate shop windows, foundations and seasonal decorations, you will discover the finest establishments in Leeds.

Food

Leeds is known for its variety of independent restaurants, cafés and bars. With over 83 eateries, the hardest decision will be choosing where to eat first! Trinity Kitchen offers an array of food vendors, ranging from pizza to ribs, and new vendors rotating in and out keep the choices varied. Kirkgate Market also hosts independent food vendors ranging from traditional fish and chips (arguably the best in the city centre) to tasty Vietnamese dishes. For something fancier, The Ivy on Vicar Lane is not to be missed, with its delicious meals, quaint afternoon teas and mouth-watering desserts, all set in vibrant art-deco interiors.

Outdoors

With over 4,000 hectares of green space, Leeds is proud to be one of Europe’s greenest cities. Take a picnic to the sprawling Roundhay Park or discover the incredible ruins of Kirkstall Abbey. Further afield, the Yorkshire Dales National Park is famed for its Yorkshire stone, picturesque landscapes and friendly community. Or for international waters, you can jet away in no time from Leeds Bradford Airport.

Entertainment

Laugh yourself silly or sing along to your favourite acts at First Direct Arena and the O2 Academy, both just a 20-minute walk from University Centre. If you’re a music maestro, you will love Belgrave Music Hall, which hosts plenty of emerging talent, or why not kick back and relax at Burley’s Brudenell Social Club? Nightlife lovers can take advantage of a variety of pubs and bars in the city centre: enjoy a pint at Whitelock’s and The Turk’s Head; have a catch-up and cocktail at Alchemist; or try something different on board The Dry Dock Leeds. There’s also a choice of three Wetherspoons for affordable beverages, or if you’re feeling brave, why not dress up and try your hand at the famous Otley Run with friends?

Life in Keighley

Keighley isn’t just proud of being the birthplace of the late Captain Sir Tom Moore. It’s also proud of its strong community spirit, something you will feel as soon as you begin studying here. With Haworth on the doorstep, the Brontë Parsonage Museum is a must-see. Tour the former home of the famous Brontës and discover where the inspiration for their novels came from. Keighley’s Cliffe Castle Museum & Park is another great destination for culture enthusiasts, with its amazing exhibitions and stunning gardens. Winding paths and tall trees make Devonshire Park the ideal place for a walk between classes. Further down the road, you will find Lund Park, the perfect spot for a picnic in the summer. In the evening, you can enjoy an affordable beverage at The Livery Rooms, before tucking into an Italian at Santoni or traditional Asian cuisine at Thai on Aire.

46

University Centre Leeds Prospectus 2022


Life in Harrogate

In the past, Harrogate was a fashionable spa resort and today it’s still a northern gem, thanks to its prime location and abundance of shops, cafés, restaurants and bars. Must-see attractions include the Royal Pump Room Museum, which showcases the history of Harrogate’s famous spa. You will want to visit the Valley Gardens too, especially on warmer days when the flowers and fauna look incredible. The Victoria Shopping Centre is home to favourites like New Look, Next and Body Shop. For high-end fashion head to James Street, where you will find LK Bennett, Jigsaw and Kurt Geiger, not to mention Hotel Chocolat for delicious gifts. A traditional afternoon tea at Betty’s Tearooms is a must, but for independent eateries you can tuck into Mediterranean at Essenza Bar & Restaurant; traditional dishes at Taverna; or fine dining at The Wild Plum, just down the road from our campus. In the evening, enjoy a tipple at The Little Ale House or the interestingly named The Disappearing Chin. Fans of live music will love The Den and The Blues Bar, while you can finish the night at a wide choice of larger venues, including Revolucion de Cuba and MOJO Cocktail & Rum Bar.
