Student groups

Joining a student group is a fantastic way to meet new people, indulge your interests or try something new. The Students' Union supports many different types of student groups at the University of East London.

All of our groups are run by students who are responsible for organising fun events and socials for members. The Students' Union helps groups to operate by guiding group leaders.

We are sure that you will be able to find what you are looking for in our existing student groups – but if not, you are welcome to let us know and we can help you start your own group!

As well as having fun, you can develop skills that are highly valued by employers. For example, joining a student group committee is a great way to develop your leadership or teamwork skills.

It costs from just £1 to join a student group! You can join a community group for free.

Types of student groups

Academic and educational

Expand your subject knowledge, enhance your employment prospects and take part in fun activities with our academic groups.

Arts, culture and media

Express yourself, or simply be inspired by the art on offer around campus: join groups focusing on creative interests such as performance, arts, music, entertainment and media.

Community

Community groups offer supportive community spaces that are accessible, regardless of circumstance. Attend events to meet people from similar backgrounds and make friends. Raise awareness of the challenges that you face at University and work alongside the Students' Union to influence positive change.

Faith

Discover and celebrate world cultures and religions with societies such as Christian Union Society, Islamic Society and Indian Society to name just a few. All the groups are open to all students. You can get informal language support and meet people from all over the world!
