The programme will see four students embark on individual PhD theses at the university. Each PhD is fully funded by Leeds Trinity, and students will also receive a stipend to financially support them during the programme. The students have been matched to expert research staff from across the University for the duration of the three-year programme. These staff have extensive professional experience as active researchers and leaders in their fields. These include Professor Mark Russell, who is currently leading interdisciplinary research examining ways to enhance the performance of professional team sport players with a focus on substitutes and half-time protocols; Dr Martin Barwood who is leading research to reduce the incidence of death by drowning; Professor Jane de Gay, who is an expert in literary, cultural and intellectual heritage; and Dr Susan Elmer, who specialises in research in social work and social care.

PRIMARY and Secondary PGCE students at Leeds Trinity University have stepped up to become key workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, undertaking their teacher training placements safely throughout the national lockdown. All trainee teachers were allocated schools in September 2020, despite the ongoing challenges of the pandemic. This was achieved due to the collaboration of the Leeds Trinity Partnerships, Placements and Employment team and its strong network of 600 schools. Through their placement, each student receives the opportunity to get hands-on experience of teaching both in school and remotely using programmes such as Microsoft Teams. Christianna Vlamis, a Primary PGCE student said: “I’ve been learning remotely throughout my PGCE, which meant that when it came to starting my placement, I was already comfortable with the software that my school used to teach virtually and could pick things up more quickly.”
