What opportunities for sports and joining societies are available?
There are approximately 100 Student Union societies available for you to join at very modest cost. Each one has been set up and is run by students with help from the Student Union. The Athletic Union (AU) is the student body that organises sport at the University for you. The AU has something to offer everyone from the highly competitive inter-university sport to the more casual inter-college sport. There are 50 sports and these range from cricket, rugby and football to pot-holing, snowboarding and paint-balling and costs are very low. More information can be found at the Student Union website.
