We appreciate that an essential part of supporting students is ensuring that their teachers and advisers have informed and accurate knowledge of higher education and the processes and systems that come alongside it.
The resources in this section have been collated to support professionals working with applicants. Some are specific to us here at Leeds Conservatoire and others are more general schools resources.
For specific information on our Undergraduate study or student services, please visit the relevant pages on our website.
