Being a student on a great course at a fantastic college is crucial: but so too is embracing all the opportunities which will come your way while you are a student.
Although the main focus at College is your course, it is essential that you are able to enjoy events that aren’t linked with your course. Here in the SU, we believe that hard work pays off, however, there is an equal need to be able to enjoy downtime away from your course.
You might want to play for our sports clubs, take part in a fitness class, join one of the society groups, or become involved in the workings of student performances and festivals - whatever you do, you will be embracing a holistic student experience and adding value to your time here. All of the activities listed are subsidised by the Union and are there for you to enjoy.
Having over 800 students, we are not a large Students’ Union, but we are incredibly supportive and eager to cater for your interests. Below is a selection of the societies we currently support. If you have any ideas and don’t see something you’d be interested, just come and have a chat with us, we are here to help you.
SOCIETIES
RWSU has so many societies for you to get involved in ranging from Football Society to Coffee Society and everything in between.
Societies are a great way to try something new and mix with people from the whole college, not just your department. Some societies have been running for years and have become a tradition…such as the football team and their annual Music vs Drama game and weekly fitness classes.
If you’d like to start your own society, please complete the below form and email it to VP Events & Societies.
This is also your opportunity to ask any questions about running a society.
