Societies

Societies can either be local to Fitzwilliam or span the whole University. Joining a society is a guaranteed way to make new and interesting friends, to learn new things, and to enjoy your free time.

Students can attend the Freshers' Fair at the Kelsey Kerridge Sports Centre near the start of their first term, where most of the University's societies will be on show and accepting new members. Fitzwilliam societies will be on display in Hall during your first week.
