Our graduates can work in tanneries and leather chemical companies around the world or, with the increasing demand for leather skills amongst the top leather-using brands, in the sports, luxury goods, footwear, automotive and fashion sectors.

Campus Information

Waterside Campus

In the summer of 2018 the University of Northampton moved to the brand-new Waterside Campus. This seven-year project saw a neglected brownfield site transformed into a successful and impressive new campus that facilitated a radical re-engineering of the University in terms of both teaching methodology and governance structures. aterside is a waterfront site of 24 hectares on the edge of the town centre. Its successful completion has turned a derelict site into a leading facility in the higher education sector. The project brief emphasised integration, of the University into the town and local community, and of departments, facilities and teams within the University itself. New pedestrian and road bridges and cycle routes link the site to the town, and public facilities and commercial outlets are part of a Waterside experience which continues beyond the University to local historic buildings and parks.

Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria

Entry requirements for the BSc (Hons) Leather Technology are a minimum of CCC at A-Level or MMM at BTEC. In addition, applicants are expected to have studied a physical and/or biological science subject at A-level or an equivalent qualification. We also welcome applicants from national and international students with significant prior experience in the leather industry.

Potential students from a creative background will be considered on their GCSE science grades and advised not to take Leather Science as a 20-credit module choice but take a marketing- or business-based module instead. There is a weekly science club for these students which they are advised to attend.

Admission to this foundation program is normally DEE at A-Level or MPP at BTEC. However, we would also like to hear from you if you have professional or industry experience instead, a range of other qualifications or self-developed subject knowledge that relates to the program you wish to study.
