Societies are a huge part of what makes the Lancaster experience so special… and here at LUSU, we oversee more than 160 of them!
When you get to Lancaster, you’ll be new to uni life, with plenty of fun things to do. And if you want to find friends, discover new interests, and make the most out of your time at Lancaster - societies are the place to do it.
Society Rundown
What are Societies?
We are so glad you asked.
Societies are groups and clubs dedicated to any hobby, interest, or cause you could think of. At Lancaster, we have societies for just about anything. From subject based societies, to baking, Pokémon, and cultural and faith communities, there really is something for everyone!
Societies can go through a process to affiliate with LUSU, giving them access to things that unaffiliated groups don’t. This can be anything from room bookings to funds.
Student Media
Thinking about a career in media? Maybe you just want to get involved in something fun?
Lucky for you we’ve got a whole bunch of media teams – run entirely by students!
But what is there?
LA1TV – Student TV channel
