Student clubs
Societies are a big part of university life, they provide students with the perfect opportunity to meet like-minded people develop a skill or a hobby or just try something new. At the University of Derby, there are over 60 societies on offer ranging from Academic, Active and Performance, Charity and Campaigns and Religious and Cultural. Union Societies are overseen by the Societies Council – a group of elected students that have specific areas to develop and improve in order to improve the social offering for all of our students at Derby.
