Societies

Have you got a hobby, interest or viewpoint that you would like to share with other students? Maybe you are just looking to try new things and meet new people? Then a society might just be what you are looking for! Societies are run via the Union Society and cover just about anything and everything that you might be interested in, from dancing, to politics, to Neighbours.  

Societies, like the Union Society, are organised by students for students. Here at Newcastle there are over 120 societies to choose from, so getting involved could not be easier. Societies run all kinds of activities throughout the year. They offer some great opportunities to learn new skills as well as a vast array of social events, trips, shows and performances.   

Societies are a great way of getting more out of your time at University outside of your degree. You are guaranteed to meet some great, likeminded people and have a lot of fun.  After trying what societies have to offer you might even fancy getting involved with its organisation, leaving you with the skills that employers look for. Its really easy to involved, just keep an eye out for the Societies Fayre during Freshers Week and the Union Society website and notice boards for more information about signing up!
