Your student lifestyle
Sports and Societies
If you have a real passion for something , it doesn ’ t need to take a back seat when you are a student . Our sports facilities and our Students ’ Union ’ s sports clubs and societies can allow you to keep up your hobbies , find new interests and meet a host of new likeminded friends .
University life is not all about studying . It ’ s important to relax and take time out for other interests .
Sports and Societies are led by the elected Students ’ Union Vice-President and range from high-performance sports such as basketball , rugby and badminton , to popular activities such as musical theatre , surf and dance . The opportunities that Sports and Societies can offer are endless .
Anybody is welcome to join in with any sport or society and you can even create your own ! Studies have proved that involvement in both sports and societies helps potential future employers see key skills and characteristics , including leadership , teamwork , dedication and determination . So , taking part in a sport or society can also benefit your CV and employability .
The societies on offer at the Students ’ Union give you the opportunity to meet like-minded people who have similar interests to you . Together you can dance , compete , sing , act , debate , create campaigns , volunteer , fundraise and so much more .
Clubs and societies can vary every year , but the table below gives you an idea of the range of groups recently active .
