Clubs and Societies

With over 400 societies at the Students’ Union, it’s easy to find something that you’ll be interested in. 

From meditation to hiking to musical theatre, there are lots of different ways to get involved or try something new. And if you can’t find anything that you want to try, you can start your own society. 

Visit the Students' Union website to have a look at some of the societies you can get involved with, and find out how to get involved.

Why get involved?

Joining a society is a great way of trying out something new and gaining new experiences, or developing your ability at something. You may be able to participate in competitions if you join a sport or academic society, or you can develop your communication skills with societies that focus on events and discussions, such the debating society or religious societies.

Most societies run frequent events, meetings and trips, and the skills that you gain from these experiences can be great for your personal development and for your life after University.

Societies are also a great way to meet new people and broaden your connections. These new connections could not only benefit your career in the future, but most of all will help you settle in, make friends, and even make you happier.

Most importantly, joining or starting a society can be a very rewarding experience, and by getting involved with something that you’re passionate about, you’ll have a lot of fun along the way.
