About this event
Sports & Academic Societies Fair
Looking to get active, try something new, or connect with people on your course? The Sports & Academic Societies Fair is your chance to explore over 80 sports clubs and over 30 academic societies all in one place. From rugby to rowing, karate to kayaking, law to linguistics, and business to biology – there’s something here for everyone.
Sports clubs are all about training hard, playing harder, and being part of Team Soton (#BleedBurgundy). Academic societies give you a community of peers, with chances to network, collaborate and make friends who share your subject.
Come along to meet teams and societies, find out about training and events, and see how you can get involved – whether that’s competing, playing for fun, or just joining a society to add something extra to your uni life.
