Student Societies & Volunteering

• We have a wide variety of societies you can get involved in. These are founded on shared interests, uni courses, cultures, faiths, representation groups…
• If you don't see one for you, why not set up your own society? All you need to get started is 3 student members!
• On our volunteering opportunities page you can find out what else you can do during your time at university. Why not join the Students’ Union Volunteering Team or get involved in the local community?
