Become a student leader

Every year, the Leadership Race gives students the opportunity to elect six of their peers to lead Leeds University Union. Last year’s campus-wide ballot saw over 8000 people taking part.

If you think you would make a great leader and could help us make sure every student loves their time at Leeds, then join the next Leadership Race.

Nominations will open in December.
