Find your communities by getting involved with our student-led Societies. With over 150 Societies to choose from, these communities, run by students for students, are the best way for you to connect with like-minded people, explore shared interests and to build friendships that last far beyond your time at university.

Creating a new society
If you have a new idea, passion or hobby that you think other students will love too, you can look to create your own Society. To do this you first need to find 20 other students who are interested, which you can do by proposing your new idea further down this page.
