Clubs and Societies

The Annual Submission on Moodle will open on 1 October and close at midnight on 31 December

Becoming a University Society

Any club or society consisting wholly or partly of current undergraduate or postgraduate students in the University may apply to the Junior Proctor for registration as a University Society.

Registration is not mandatory but does provide certain benefits which are not available to unregistered clubs or societies. For example:

• only registered clubs and societies may apply to the Societies Syndicate for financial assistance;
• registered clubs and societies may also be covered by the University’s public liability insurance policy when hiring premises or facilities; and
• registered clubs and societies are also entitled to space on the University’s web pages.
