Your student lifestyle
Clubs , societies and sports
If you have a real passion for something , it does not need to take a back seat when you are a student . University sports , clubs and societies can enable 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 is important to relax and take time out for other interests .
Sports & Societies are led by the elected Student Vice-President and range from high performance sports , such as football , rugby and badminton , to popular activities such as theatre , anime and dance . The opportunities that Sports & Societies offers are endless .
Anybody is welcome to join in with any sport or society and you can even create your own ! Studies have proven that involvement in sports and societies helps potential future employers see you demonstrate key skills and characteristics , including leadership , teamwork , dedication and determination . So , taking part in a sport or society can benefit your CV and employability .
The societies on offer at the SU give you the opportunity to meet like-minded people who have similar interests to you . Together you can dance , compete , sing , act , debate , create , campaign , volunteer , fundraise and so much more .
Clubs and societies change every year , but the table below gives you an idea of the range of groups recently active .
