The Leeds College of Music Students Union is comprised of the total body of current students. A mutually inclusive, creative network of young and dynamic musicians with one common goal: to express ourselves through music.
The LCoM Students Union Executive (thats us!) works on your behalf to provide the most complete student experience possible. This means keeping you informed and up-to-date, organising parties and events, securing valuable work opportunities, and representing the student perspective and our concerns to the LCoM staff.
Whats more, we are here to listen and to help. Homesick, anxious, or frustrated with your course? We dont care what it is. Your problems are our problems. Weve been through it, and our door is open 5 days a week.
