Why Join a Society?
Make New Friends
Joining a society is one of the best ways to make new friends who are like-minded and, as cliché as it sounds, they could be a friend for life.
Get Connected
Networking is a great way to kick start your future career. Joining a society can be great a way to meet people who can help you with your development and provide opportunities which go beyond those of the lecture theatre and university.
Develop Future Career Skills
Societies give you the opportunity to learn and develop skills from teamwork to events planning to budget management to leadership as well as many other transferrable skills. These skills can give you an extra edge when looking for future career opportunities.
Relax!
Sometimes university life can be hard and you just need a break. Joining a society can give you the perfect way to relax and chat to others. Maybe you want to talk through your problem or just forget about it all, but whatever you decide the society will be there for you.
Try Something New
What better time than coming to university than to try something new? By joining a society, not only can you indulge in activities you enjoy, but you can also try something you may never have tried before!
Gain Confidence
Joining a society can help you develop interpersonal skills with people from a wide range of backgrounds and improve your confidence with other people.
