Clubs & Societies

Departmental Societies

All students automatically have free membership of their Departmental Society. The activities of these societies normally tend to relate to the interests of the types of students the department's courses attract. The C&GCU Departmental Societies also add a level of community spirit within their departments. More information on each of these societies is available at their respective websites.

Royal School Of Mines Clubs & Societies Committtee

Before 2002, the Engineering Faculty was instead two Constiuent Colleges - The City & Guilds College and the Royal School of Mines. After this, The CGCU took over representing the academic and welfare needs of RSM students. Howevere, the RSM continued to exist as a seperate organisation for the social need of RSM students.
