English Society (EngSoc)
Welcome from the EngSoc President
Congratulations on being accepted into the school of English at the University of 91̽»¨! Welcome new and continuing members of the English Society (EngSoc).
The English Society is a society for all English students, whether that is Literature, Linguistics, or all the other amazing courses that are a part of the School of English. We hold numerous events throughout the year, such as our annual winter and summer balls and regular social events. We also have two sports teams, our EngSoc Football and Netball teams practise regularly and take part in matches against other societies. We work closely with the school but we are an external student run society providing support and fun activities to all members. This society is a great way to make friends on your course and on similar course, with similar interests in English. We are an inclusive society who also host ‘sober socials’ and charity events throughout the year.
We aim to provide an environment that is fun, comfortable, inclusive and welcoming for all students and aim to create many positive university experiences. We are here to support you at all times.
We look forward to meeting you. Welcome to the English Society!
Josie Isle
EngSoc President 2022-2023
