Additional Fee Information
The sports department at University Centre Leeds has created a kit bundle with supplier Under Armour, this will provide you with the following at a total cost of £160. This is to support you with the practical aspects of the course and which will include the following items:
· Embroidered hoodie
· Embroidered polo shirt
· Embroidered t-shirt
· Embroidered track pants
· Embroidered shorts
· Embroidered backpack
Some embroidered items may be available to buy individually. It is anticipated that you will need an embroidered polo shirt as a minimum to wear when on placement or during practical sessions.
To ensure that you obtain the best deal possible for professional branded clothing that will set you up for practical sessions, gym workouts and work placements, you should order your kit through the university. The kit bundle will cost £160. As we recognise this may be a lot of money to pay upfront at the start of your course, we have made arrangements which allow you to add this cost to your tuition fee loan from Student Finance England, which would mean that your loan would be for £8,110. If choosing this option, please note that your kit can only be issued to you once proof of your loan is received by the University Centre. When applying for your tuition fee loan, please select the ‘with the kit included’ option, charged at £8,110.
Students will need to undergo an enhanced DBS check due to the work placement element of this course, which will be funded by the department. However, you may wish to pay for a yearly subscription to the DBS Update Service which will allow you to keep your DBS certificate up to date and allow employers to check online that the document is still current or if any additional information has been added since its issue.
