Your student journey begins here
Welcome to LUU - Your home away from home
Located at the heart of campus, Leeds University Union (LUU) is your Students’ Union. Led by our Student Exec, and with student voice at the heart of every decision, your Union is independent to the University, here to represent you and ensure that you love your time at Leeds.
With lots of study spaces, cafes and bars, a wide range of events – from workshops to gigs – and with more than 300 clubs and societies to choose from, you’re sure to find something to do at LUU. You have access to opportunities to feel celebrated, empowered and supported, with cultural and liberation campaigns, feedback and discussion forums, and student-led projects. There is independent and confidential advice available at the LUU Help & Support team, and plenty of part-time jobs to pick up some skills for your CV at our shops, cafes, events, and offices.
Make friends, fuel your passions, gain new skills, and have fun at LUU!
