Clubs and societies

Adventure Soc strives to help the student community experience more outdoor adventure in their lives. Each year we run a variety of exciting, adventurous trips which anyone is welcome to get involved with. From hiking to climbing to kayaking, there is no limit to our ambition.

WES is a national charity and a professional network of engineers, scientists and technologists aiming to support and inspire women to achieve; encourage the education of engineering; and support companies with gender diversity and inclusion.

As an affiliated group, we run events such as talks, discussions and in person get-togethers and networking. At the Institute, we run events for everyone to attend, and occasionally events open to only those of marginalised genders within engineering.

A club for experienced and casual gamers alike, we host regular games nights to play a variety of board, card, video, and tabletop games. We play a combination of social deduction, card and board games. Some favourites include Blood on the Clocktower, Gubs, and Quacks.

A music group - we sing, learn about music and chat about life.

A network for anyone interested in running, cycling or anything active. There are lots of activities throughout the week and you can just join in with the ones you like the sound of! For example:

• Parkrun & Brunch
• Group Cycle Rides
• Hangar Sports Nights
• Running Races

We keep bees of course! We have ~5 hives that live on campus, each with a buzzing colony of 20,000+ bees inside and potentially some ooey gooey honey too. The club owns and manages the colonies ensuring they're happy and healthy. If the hive is strong enough we also collect honey and if they're strong enough we sell some too! The main focus of the club though is caring for the wellbeing of the gals, with a bit of hodge-podge and DIY thrown in, with building/painting/fixing hives or sheds.   

We have fun playing volleyball and we've joined a Wiltshire league!

At the moment we run one session a week, a casual session for everyone. Anyone can join casual sessions, they're just for a bit of fun.

Big Band is a mixed ensemble playing a wide variety of music including Jazz, Pop, Rock and even Disco!

Dyson Institute FC is a student-led football club looking at opportunities for students to play football, whether it's internally or externally.

For surf trips and other watery events

A friendly group who get together to chat, eat cake and do arts, craft or stitching projects.

KASSC (King Athelstan Snow Sports Club) is the club for all snowsports. We organise the biggest student trip at the Institute and we've been to Morzine and Flaine, Val Thorens, Les Arcs and Tignes. If you a seasoned pro or even if you just want to make snowmen, you are welcome at KASSC - our trips cater for all abilities and no one is left behind.
