Hi, my name is Zoe, I’m a British student studying for Masters in Human Right Laws
here. Nottingham is a fantastically social campus. There are loads of cafes and bars
for you to hang out with friends and it is one of the few universities that actually boast
a post-graduate students’ association known as the PGSA, which is ran by a group
of very driven people who organise socials and outings for postgraduates.
Every school within the University has a specific society – such as law society and
LLM soc. for us Masters students! – who organise events for you can get to know
your coursemates better. If you want to branch out of your particular discipline, there
are 190 other societies here at Nottingham, which cover all aspects of life, such as
culture, religion, sports, hobbies, you name it, Nottingham’s probably got it. If,
however, you don’t find a society that you want here, the Student Union will be able
to support and guide you how to set up your own!
If you wanted to have more proactive role in the University life, there are a number of
student-run organisations which will give you invaluable insight into business, such
as New Theatre, URN University Radio, Impact Magazine and NUTS TV. Every
aspect of these organisations are run by students, from the presenting to the admin.
So, whatever you are looking for at Nottingham, there’s definitely something within
the social life that will make it a memorable time for you here.
