Frequently asked questions

What is a society?

At Hallam, a society is a group of students that share a similar passion, interest, or hobby. Societies provide a chance to meet other students who are similar to you, and take part in the things you love. Joining a society is also the perfect chance to try something new!

Where can I find a list of all societies?

You can view all our social societies and academic societies online. When you find a society that you're interested in, click on the society's logo to see more information about them, including their contact details, links to their social media channels, and joining information.

How do I join a society?

To join a society, simply login to our website with your Hallam login. Go to the society's webpage and choose which society membership you wish to purchase. Add the membership to your basket. Click through to the checkout, where you can pay any membership fee and fill in your details. Even if the society doesn't charge a fee, you still need to 'purchase' a membership through the website - you just won't have to pay any money.

I joined a society but haven't heard from them

You should contact the society to find out when they will next be meeting. Each society should have contact details on their webpage.

I have concerns about how a society is being run

If you have any concerns about one of our societies, please contact us as soon as possible at activitiesadmin@shu.ac.uk.

I can't find the right society for me

Why not set up your own society?! All you need is a great idea and 10 interested students. If you have any questions, just contact us at activitiesadmin@shu.ac.uk.
