Student societies
Societies are a great way to meet people who share your passions, studies, faith, cultural background or just want to try new things.
Run by the Students' Union, there are over 270 societies to choose from. Take your pick from academic and faith-based societies, to exploring art, music and special interests including debating and board games, or join political, charitable and media societies. There is something for everyone.

Come along and meet all our societies at the Welcome Fair on Tuesday 27 January, 12.30pm to 2.30pm, in the Pavilion at the University Building. To attend, you'll need to book a ticket (bookings will open shortly).
