Leeds Trinity Students’ Union At Leeds Trinity Students’ Union, we’re all about helping you make the most of your time at university — whether that’s smashing your course, meeting new mates, joining a society, or just figuring life out one step at a time.

We’re an independent charity, which means every bit of money we make gets put straight back into improving your uni experience. From events and support services to clubs and campaigns, it’s all for you.

Need advice? Got a question? Want to get involved? Our friendly staff team is always around to help you out. Every Spring, you can vote (or run!) in our student elections — there are over 200 roles up for grabs. It’s your uni experience, get involved, your voice matters.

Into sports or societies?

We’ve got loads of them that bring together your favourite interests, there’s something for everyone. Our sports teams compete in BUCS (British Universities & Colleges Sport), and we’re always hyping up the next big match.

Check out the full list at ltsu.co.uk.
