Student Leadership

LBSU exists to support, represent and connect each and every one of the c.24,000 students that study at Leeds Beckett, but to do this effectively, we pride ourselves on having strong student leadership in place to influence and direct the work we do to improve the lives of students on campus, in the local community, and on a national level. As a Leeds Beckett student, you choose who those leaders should be.

Your four full-time officers are elected by the student body during the Spring each year, and are paid and work full time leading Leeds Beckett Students’ Union for a year. They represent students to the university and help make students’ lives better.

Student Elections

The Student Elections are the single biggest and most important democratic student leadership event that takes place each year and we need each and every student at Leeds Beckett to play a part, whether that be as a candidate or as a voter. If you’re interested in standing for election to one of our full-time paid student officer roles or one of our lower commitment voluntary roles, please visit our dedicated election pages to find out more.

Student Community Organisers

LBSU’s Student Community Organisers are students who work part-time to actively listen to students from all areas of the university to connect, exchange ideas and support you to build your collective power. As well as being leaders and supporting the activity of our Student Community Groups, the Student Communities, the Student Community Organisers are also your peers, understanding the unique challenges and experiences of student life. They are passionate about building a strong community that ensures that everyone feels valued and empowered to make a difference and would like to connect with you to make this happen.
