When you’re not busy studying, why not join a study association, or enjoy one of the many cultural, sporting and social activities?
Humanities study associations
Why would you join a study association? Well, first of all, it’s a great way to enrich your student life by combining activities relevant to your degree with having a good time. The associations are a great way to get to know your fellow students. You can take part in a large number of activities, including trips, parties, drinks and lectures. Being a member can also have some practical benefits, such as discounts on your course books.
