I can't recommend this university highly enough. It is one of the few places that ask you questions instead of just giving you answers. The teaching staff come from a wide range of backgrounds, the facilites offer you the space and quality to grow as a musician, and the course itself (BA Hons Music (Production)) allows you to take control of what you want to do.

The studios are of a great standard, and I have heard that over the summer they opened 2 more, as well as giving the whole college a face lift!

One of the key phrases I heard throughout my time at LCoM was "Don't bury your head in the sand", and the support was always there if you felt like you needed to.

When I started the SU was thin on the ground, but by my final year some great students had taken control and were offering good nights and events that were cheap, fun and a great addition to student life.

You need to have visited Leeds to see what this city has to offer. For live music events there are at least 30 venues that offer every style, as well as the West Yorkshire Playhouse right next door to the college putting on a range of shows. The centre is thiving, and the college is just a stones throw away from all the action.

As a small college it is lacking in this department, but they do have a deal with the local sports centre offering a different activity every day of the week. There are, of course, also a range of bands and orchestras that you can audition for each year, but outside this there are no sports teams or societies.

The staff are switched on and engaged with the industry and can really help you get to where you want to be, once again, if you really want to be somewhere. Instead of telling you what you should be doing, they help you grow as a musician, and a person, to allow you to find your own path and make your own creative decisions in a professional setting.

In all honesty, careers in the music industry seem far and few between, but Leeds College Of Music showed me the many pathways I can take. In this industry you have to put in the extra hours to get what you want from it, but the univeristy helps set you up if you really do want it.

Leeds has great student accommodation, and the college is attached to Joesph Stone House, student halls that are a little too small to house all the first years. They are starting to feel a little worn, but are great compared to some of the other accommodation offered by other universities.

Amazing teachers! Really friendly people feel right at home and being Surrounded by people who are interested in the same thing is a great experience. The main building has a older look and diversity could be improved but they are working towards that and are culturally sensitive as a POC they do their best to make you feel seen and heard

It is blended learning with 3 lesson being online in a 30 hour week it is really on hands and in person would like more acting classes however bit overall the content is all amazing
