One of the best ways to start meeting new people and to develop extra-curricular interests is to join one of our various clubs or societies.  Clubs and societies play an important role in expanding your social activities, help you meet like-minded people and allow you to develop new interests.  You can join as many Clubs and Societies you as like.

 

How to Join

Visit the Students' Union Clubs and Societies in the Students' Union Offices in the Chancellor's Mall.  Here you will find the Student Activities Co-ordinator and the Vice President (Activities & Recreation) who will be available to answer any queries or questions you may have regarding UBSU Clubs and Societies.

 

Sports

Any student interested in becoming a member of a sports club does not have to be a first class player or athlete.  Coaching is given to our clubs for a small fee, and caters for novices as well as those who are more experienced.  The majority of our sporting clubs actively take part in organised competitive sport via BUCS (British Universities & College Sports).

 

Dates for competitive sporting events, organised through BUCS are sent to the Student Activities Co-ordinator and Vice President, who will communicate these fixtures to Club Officers (usually Wednesday afternoon).

Training
Competition entry
Subsidised transport
