During the Month of October, we’re encouraging all students to join a Network or Society. Networks and Societies are a great way to meet new people and create communities that last a lifetime!
Whether you’re new to UoB or a very familiar with your surroundings, a Society or Network can open many doors for present and future opportunities in both your professional and personal lives.
Our Societies and Networks run a host of events and you may have seen some already this year as we’ve had a range take place from the Nigerian Independence Day Celebration and the South East Asian Societies Meet & Greet fill up the Metro!

And the great news is that if you join a society this month, you will be in with a chance to win a signed painting of multiple BRIT Award and MOBO Award Nominee Alexandra Burke!
