What is a society?

A society is a term we use for a group of students who share a common interest or hobby.

A society is set up by students for students and gives you the opportunity to come together with others and practice your interest in a welcoming and fun environment.

A society can be based around anything from sport, music and gaming to cards, tea and business.

Being part of a society also looks great on your CV or when applying to university.
