<strong>Leeds</strong> is a truly<br />
cosmopolitan city,<br />
catering for all tastes<br />
and interests.
LEEDS & KEIGHLEY<br />
As the fourth largest city in the UK after London,<br />
Birmingham and Manchester, <strong>Leeds</strong> is exciting,<br />
ever growing, and frequently ranks as among the<br />
most popular student destinations in the country<br />
as well as a cost effective place to study.<br />
Whether it’s socialising or shopping, sport, culture<br />
or an escape from the hustle and bustle – <strong>Leeds</strong><br />
has it all.<br />
Keighley is located in the Aire Valley on a direct<br />
train route from <strong>Leeds</strong> and about ten miles from<br />
the centres of Bradford, Halifax and Skipton. It<br />
offers the best of both worlds - a town centre<br />
large enough to offer a wide range of shops<br />
with a pleasant mix of small independent traders<br />
alongside major retailers. The surrounding<br />
countryside offers a wealth of leisure opportunities<br />
and is a popular international visitor attraction for<br />
walkers and Brontë fans.<br />
OUR ESTATES VISION<br />
This year we have taken forward plans to enhance<br />
our estates portfolio with an exciting 10 year<br />
property strategy.<br />
Phase 1 of the Property Strategy was the opening<br />
of a brand new £35m Keighley Campus in<br />
September 2010, after two and a half years under<br />
construction.<br />
The property strategy plans will mean the<br />
improvement of many of our other campuses<br />
phased over several years, and include extensive<br />
renovation and relocation of various subject areas.<br />
The next phase of the plan is the relocation of<br />
our Thomas Danby Campus provision (Roundhay<br />
Road) in summer 2013. You may have read in the<br />
news that <strong>Leeds</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>College</strong> purchased the former<br />
Alf Cooke Printworks building (near Costco) on<br />
Hunslet Road in <strong>Leeds</strong>.<br />
Work has already commenced to clear the site and<br />
building work began in September 2012.<br />
During the spring/summer of 2013, the<br />
Hospitality & Catering, Food Manufacturing, and<br />
<strong>Hair</strong> and <strong>Beauty</strong> departments currently based at<br />
Thomas Danby Campus will all relocate to the<br />
fantastic Printworks Campus.<br />
We look forward to seeing you at one of our open<br />
events / tours of the fantastic new Printworks<br />
Campus as soon as dates are announced in 2013.
STORIES AND<br />
EXPERIENCES
Olympic Success: The <strong>College</strong> was heavily<br />
involved with the London 2012 Olympic Games,<br />
with students taking part in everything from<br />
carrying the Olympic torch, baking cakes for<br />
celebration events in <strong>Leeds</strong>, dancing to crowds<br />
on the relay route, and helping out as torch<br />
ambassadors. Team GB’s Nicola Adams (who<br />
became the first female boxer to win an Olympic<br />
gold medal in the Women’s Fly Final) was a<br />
former student of <strong>Leeds</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>College</strong> on the<br />
National Diploma in Software Development.<br />
<strong>College</strong> Opens New Dining Destination:<br />
<strong>Leeds</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>College</strong> has joined up with The<br />
Flannels group to open a restaurant in a<br />
prestigious city centre location. The Food<br />
Academy, on the third floor of Flannels,<br />
<strong>Leeds</strong>, showcases the <strong>College</strong>’s most talented<br />
students. On completing training, students<br />
who excel have the opportunity to secure an<br />
apprenticeship at the restaurant, providing<br />
invaluable experience in a professional, high<br />
quality environment. Recently, the students<br />
have worked with Michelin-starred chef,<br />
Steve Smith.<br />
Sauce of Inspiration: The man behind Reggae<br />
Reggae Sauce, Levi Roots, shared the story of his<br />
rise to sauce super stardom with students at <strong>Leeds</strong><br />
<strong>City</strong> <strong>College</strong>. Levi visited the <strong>College</strong>’s Thomas<br />
Danby Campus to chat to Hospitality & Catering and<br />
Business students about setting up and succeeding<br />
in business. His appearance on the BBC’s Dragons’<br />
Den brought both Levi and his Reggae Reggae Sauce<br />
to the public’s attention, with his sauce now stocked<br />
by major retailers and the Levi Roots brand extended<br />
across a range of other products.<br />
Once in a Lifetime Experience: Students and staff<br />
from <strong>Leeds</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>College</strong> received the opportunity<br />
of a lifetime when they were granted a private<br />
audience with His Holiness the Dalai Lama during<br />
his visit to the city in 2012. The Tibetan spiritual<br />
leader and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate was in<br />
<strong>Leeds</strong> as the keynote speaker at the Yorkshire<br />
International Business Convention (YIBC) <strong>Leeds</strong><br />
2012. As a sponsor of the YIBC, the <strong>College</strong> was<br />
invited to bring 100 students and staff to meet<br />
privately with the Dalai Lama, to enable him to give<br />
a special message to the young people of the city.<br />

Asking Danielle & Laurie how they would describe<br />
their time working at the Olympic & Paralympic<br />

Returning home after being away from home for<br />
two months the girls have so much to talk about,<br />
meeting famous athletes, seeing Prince Harry and<br />
various celebrities whilst learning more than they<br />
could have ever imagined.<br />
I can see that the girls will share this experience<br />
with people for the rest of their lives; they<br />
really seem to appreciate just what an amazing<br />
opportunity this really was for them.<br />
Following the girls return;<br />
Danielle has been offered a job through one of<br />
the stylists at the Olympic salon to go and work<br />
in his London organisation “Organics” earning a<br />

Stylist on a photo shoot which will be featured in<br />
the Times Magazine Laurie will be returning to<br />
London in the holidays to support the same stylist<br />
on regular photo shoots.<br />
With the help and support from <strong>Leeds</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />

CHOOSING THE<br />
RIGHT COURSE
Where to start?<br />
For some people it’s easy knowing what to<br />
study. If you really want to be a Plumber, then<br />
studying Dance may not be the right choice...<br />
and vice-versa.<br />
If you’re not sure what you can do, want to do<br />
or how to do it, we have a few tips to help you<br />
decide.<br />
Consider the following when choosing<br />
your course:<br />
• Your Skills and Talents<br />
Think about where your strengths lie. You might<br />
want to list them or sit and talk them through<br />
with somebody who knows you well, like a friend<br />
or family member or a teacher.<br />
• Your Hobbies and Interests<br />
Think about what interests you. Things are<br />
easier to learn when we have a genuine interest<br />
in the subject area. Try to make links between<br />
your hobbies and interests and the courses on<br />
offer. Talking to your family or friends can be<br />
helpful here.<br />
• Entry Requirements<br />
All of our courses require that you can show<br />
what skills and talents you have to offer, and<br />
that you can show a genuine interest in the<br />
subject. For some courses you will need to have<br />
qualifications and be able to show evidence<br />
of these. The entry requirements for all of our<br />
courses appear in the <strong>College</strong> Prospectuses, on<br />
the <strong>College</strong> website and on the <strong>Leeds</strong> Pathways<br />
website.<br />
Please check that you meet the entry<br />
requirements for the course that you apply for.<br />
• Your Career or Job Ideas<br />
If you have a specific career or job idea, it is<br />
important to make sure that your choice of<br />
course will help you to achieve this. Some<br />
people choose their career first and this<br />
determines the course they apply for. Some<br />
choose a course that they know they will<br />
find interesting and then explore their career<br />
options later. There is no right or wrong<br />
approach to this but help and support is<br />
available.<br />
• Essential Skills Required for Work<br />
We want to make sure that everyone has the<br />
chance to improve or consolidate their skills<br />
required for work and/or HE. All students who<br />
haven’t achieved A*-C in Maths, English and<br />
ICT will be able to study Functional Skills or<br />
GCSEs in these areas at a level appropriate to<br />
you. Employers tell us that these are essential<br />
to work. They will also have the opportunity<br />
to develop their ‘employability’ skills – selfmanagement,<br />
team working, problem solving,<br />
business and customer awareness, positive<br />
attitude – as part of their learning programme.<br />
