Student life

Find your place amongst our historic campuses, world-class facilities, and diverse student community.

A club or society is a great way to continue the extracurricular activities you already love, find a new interest or meet like-minded friends from within or outside of your degree.

Employers love to see leadership experience on your resume – and we love to help you get it.

Lead a student group, direct a play, mentor a younger student or help run one of over 200 clubs and societies to make connections and build your networks.
