Professional Practice (Level 6 Top-up) degrees
Leeds Trinity University Professional Practice degrees are stand alone qualifications that aim to expand the skills required for a range of professional and managerial roles in environments working to support the development, learning and wellbeing of children, young people and families.
Following completion of a Foundation degree or equivalent Level 5 qualification in a relevant area of study, we offer the opportunity to 'top-up' your work-based qualification with a Professional Practice 'Top-Up' degree.
Upon successful completion of a Professional Practice degree, you will graduate with a BA (Hons) degree in your chosen pathway.
