Explore new cultures, share ideas, work with the local community and best of all, meet new people to make memories with.
Faith Spaces, on every campus, are also open to students of all and no faiths. They are ideal for meeting new people, prayer and quietness. Look out for weekly events such as dog walking and mindfulness.
Here are just some of the clubs and societies on offer to our students – check out the SU website for the full list, ways to join and how to start your own.
International Society: “Our aim is to make sure international students feel as much “at home” as possible – we’re also open to all UoG students. We organise social events, running events and trips, so if you enjoy meeting new people, partying, discovering new cultures and having fun, come along!”
Mature Students: “An informal peer-to-peer network for some downtime and sharing tips on how to balance life in and out of university because sometimes, having someone to chat with is helpful. We arrange a few social events throughout the semesters, like afternoon coffee meet-ups or a trip in to town for music or cinema, which will give you the opportunity to meet other mature students.”
LGBTQ+: “The LGBT+ Society welcomes anyone to join us, regardless of how they identify. We pride ourselves on being an open and accepting society, and we have worked hard over the past years to ensure that this is a safe space for the community. This society is here for many reasons – whether it’s about sharing experiences, having a safe space on your doorstep or exploring your individuality, there’s a place for everyone.”
Refugee Support Society: “We’re working together to take action and raise awareness for refugee and asylum seeker causes locally and elsewhere in the world. Working closely alongside Cheltenham Welcomes Refugees, holding fundraisers to support work carried out by Salam LADC, we meet to share ideas by be hosting ‘Chatty Café’ every fortnight and make change. We also look forward to some exciting outings, socials and get-togethers.”
Christian Union: “Wherever you are in your spiritual journey or even if you consider yourself without one, come along, get involved and see what it’s all about. We have links with the chaplaincy and lots of local churches.”
Islamic Society: “We attempt to provide a medium between Muslims and non-Muslims alike to discuss in achieving a better understanding amongst each other. ISoc is a culturally diverse group of students who fit under the huge umbrella of the Islamic faith. It’s also a supportive platform where students can express their experiences with being a Muslim student.”
Jewish Society: this is a new society, so check out the SU website for more information.
