Music (Popular with Production) BA (Hons)

University rating (3)

The tutors and facilities are all good. The city of Leeds is a great place to be a musician with lots of opportunities and events happening. Sometimes the course can feel like college or lower school, particularly on the popular group study module where you are put into bands. They give you a series of tasks that can feel that they aren’t relevant.

Acting BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

Great place to study and embrace the creativity across all paths of study! Although smaller than the majority of universes it’s bustling with creativity and talent. Lectures who are industry professionals and always go the extra mile. The new acting and musical theatre courses are exceptional breaking drama school stereotypes creating an accessible experience for all.

Music Production (Top-up) BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

The fact that I am constantly surrounded by young people who have a strong passion for music. It’s very inspiring walking down the corridors and hearing everyone practising and creating. We also have access to amazing facilities and equipment. It could be improved by there being more ways for people from different course and pathways to meet each other and collaborate on work.

The environment and general vibe of the Conservatoire is super relaxed, and makes you feel at ease. The lessons are generally really interesting and allow for a great foundation for you to build off of. You get plenty of time for assignments, and the mental health team are all super helpful and down to earth. The location is fairly close to the centre of town, and all the community spaces are very nice, with decently priced coffee and snacks in the Cafe Bar, and a great library with good individual study spaces.

A large variety of unique and creative courses so you meet all manner of talented students. The facilities are a little outdated and the performing arts cohorts need more space.

Love the overall vibe of the uni, however there is a huge lack of organisation within the SU and between students and faculty.

Music (Folk, Roots and Blues) BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

Leeds Conservatoire is really inclusive and friendly. The tutors are all incredibly talented in a wide variety of different areas, as are the students, and everyone is more than happy to help you learn whatever you'd like to from them. The facilities are great, including a great instrument department (for you to borrow kit and instruments), and multiple Mac labs, practice rooms and band rooms. The courses are really practical and applicable to what you want to learn, and there are loads of performance opportunities.

Actor Musician BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

Having begun my degree during the pandemic, I think the course leader of my degree did a stellar job of providing educational content via online lectures without making us do something as ridiculous as a show/shared performance via zoom. I've had master classes with Coleman Domingo, Isobel McArthur, Aaron Posner and working with multiple theatre companies and/or their creative control members like The Letter Room, New Victorians and Darren Clark. I understand as a result the fortunate position I was in, especially compared to my friends studying at different degrees that felt completely in the dark about their own training and work by comparison of how much contact time there was despite the limitations in place. I think at times the work load feels very intense in comparison to the other degrees as a result of the nature of the degree. For example we just spent 2 weeks working on the 1st act of an Actor Muso panto that wasn't being assessed to share, and immediately went into a 4 week project for a full length production that the Acting degree had 6 weeks to prepare. Given we're playing live music as well as composing original score, on top of the acting aspects of the shows (and mostly 12 hours days), we're all rather tired. As much as the panto was informative and fun, both intensive projects one immediately after the other has left us very tired.
