Get involved this term with our exciting activities programme! Taking part is a great way of meeting new people, learning some new skills and having fun! You’ll find a wide variety of activities that you can participate in outside of your academic timetable.
This might involve taking part in sports activities, joining the Student Union committee to design the enrichment programme for the academic year; working on community or charity work or volunteering to support your local community. The Enrichment team also offers support to students applying for Higher Education courses and for those seeking employment.
We are always looking for new ideas to include within the enrichment programme; therefore, any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Enrichment is about meeting new friends and developing skills and fun times.
