Clubs and societies

Leeds has one of the largest student unions in the country. Leeds University Union (LUU) exists to represent, support and entertain you throughout your student years.

Leeds University Union has over 250 activities to choose from – you can get involved in anything from football to chess, wine tasting to skydiving, dance to ‘a cappella’. You can even try your hand at Quidditch!

Our active student-run societies are a great place to meet others in the Faculty and participate in great socials and trips.

If you wanted to get more involved, you could even join a society committee and help to plan and organise activities.

FoBSoc (Faculty of Biological Sciences Society)

FoBSoc is the biggest of our student societies and caters for all students within the Faculty. It’s also one of the biggest and best societies in the Leeds University Union, with over 850 members.

They run a wide range of social and educational events throughout the year and often collaborate with other clubs and societies. FoBSoC also have four intramural sports teams including football, hockey, netball and rugby.
