Welcome to the Sports & Societies Home Page. At SOAS we pride ourselves on punching well above our weight when it comes to Sports & Societies. As you can see from the photo, we had over 150 societies at our Freshers Fayre, which for an institution the size of SOAS is amazing. Run by students for students, societies and sports teams are a great was to socialise, pursue your interests and of course have lots of fun. Below is the current societies contact list, it will be updated regularly as new societies pop up. And remember, its easy to start a society, so if something you are interested in isn’t there below, contact me.
This is the provisional list of the societies who were registered for the Freshers’ Fayre. More will be added soon, and som may vanish. If there are any corrections or queries please e-mail pb14@soas.ac.uk
