Take the lead
Want to lead your own Society? You can start up any society by registering it with the Student Life Team. All you need is at least 3 people – the Chair, the Vice and the Administrator:
- The Society Chair: Plans and runs the society meetings and may fundraise for a trip or long-term project.
- The Society Vice: Supports the Chair and covers meetings in their absence.
- The Society Administrator: Maintains registers and communicates with the Student Union Societies Officer re events, fundraising, room bookings etc.
You will be supported by the Societies Officer, Student Union President and Student Life Team. Below are some ex-societies who need a new Chair, but you are welcome to suggest and create your very own, too!
Book Club: If you love to read, join our Book Society to explore diverse literature and connect with others who share your passion.
