English Society
We are the University of Southampton's English Society! Despite our name, we are here to build a community between students from all departments and degrees, with a shared love of literature. We not only aim to offer support to English students through our first-year mentoring scheme, but to organise socials and events that will connect literature-loving students, and to provide something for everyone to enjoy! We run and plan both alcoholic and sober events, including but not limited to bar socials, book clubs, meet and greets, and film screenings. We welcome everybody and would love you to get involved!
Welcome to EngSoc!
Firstly, you do not need to study English to be part of the society! Everyone is welcome here. If you love books, even if you haven't read one since you were ten, we have something for everyone. We have members who study subjects ranging from Law to Biochemistry. The 25/26 committee are working hard to ensure we have a packed and exciting year. These are just some of the things we have to offer as a society:
- Book Club
- Buddy Scheme - in partnership with humanities departments; mentoring for first year students by more experienced students!
- Regular socials (drinking and sober socials)
- Collabs with other societies such as Taylor Swift Society, Theatre Group, FilmSoc, TeaSoc, and plenty more!
- Winter and Summer Balls (with other humanities societies - fingers crossed!)
- Coffee shops, lots and lots of coffee shops - anything from coffee shop crawls to simply having a little chat
- A group chat to ensure a welcoming and friendly environment for new and current members to ask questions and find out what we're up to next
If this sounds like it would interest you, feel free to come along! Please email us or find us on social media for any questions or pop along to a social. We would love to meet you guys.
