Sports and societiesSports and Societies

The Students’ Union supports a whole range of student-run clubs and societies, increasing in numbers and diversity every year. We offer everything from Musical Production Society (MPS) to netball and mature students’ society to snow sports. New clubs and societies are starting up all the time and if we’re not offering what you’re looking for, all it takes is ten like-minded individuals to start up your very own sports or society!

 

What else can we offer you?

The Students’ Union runs a variety of commercial services. The shop, internet café, bar and a diverse and exciting array of entertainments are all very much at the heart of what we do.

We encourage you to use the Students’ Union as much as possible because of the friends you will meet, the skills you will gain and the most enjoyable of experiences you will have. We aim to provide a high quality entertainment programme in a safe, friendly environment that will offer something for everyone at value for money.

The Students’ Union also works towards the main event of the academic year - The Summer Ball. We feel that because you have worked so hard over the year you deserve to let your hair down in style. The entire campus is closed down and turned into one big carnival event with funfair rides, bands, and adult inflatable games - an experience not to be missed!
