Got an idea for a society that we don't currently have? Then why not set-up your own?
In the current climate of Education, many people need and want to get more out of University than just a degree. There's a saying that goes "Don't just get a degree, get an education!" Getting a degree at University doesn't necessarily mean as much as it used to! To be attractive to the 'real' world you may need extra transferable life skills.
Joining a Society can:
- Increase your EMPLOYABILITY
- Improve your SKILLS
- Enhance your SOCIAL LIFE
- Introduce you to new FRIENDS
- Be FUN
- Allow you to get INVOLVED
- MAKE YOU DO SOMETHING
But if nothing interests you from the list of current UWE Clubs & Societies or you fancy something new, start up your own!
The Start-up Checklist
The steps below give you a brief outline of what you need to do to start your own society. For a more complete run through, download the booklet at the bottom of this page.
- Check that your activitiy doesn't duplicate a current society (check the list here ) as we can't fund two similar activities.
- Get the names of 15 interested current UWE students, choosing a committee of three members from them.
- Hand-in a draft constitution and society profile to the Activities Centre (Frenchay campus, room 5F2)
- Attend the next Activities Council (see the list of councils here ) where you will be asked to give a brief explaination of your society's aims. The council will then vote.
- If successful (and most are!) you will finally have to attend a training session where all the ins and out of society life are explained.
