Academic Societies Briefing

A summary of students' union and university approaches to academic societies in 2021.

Context

Organised Fun specialise in student opportunities and particularly in 2021 have focused on academic societies.

We held a meeting on 25th March 2021 with 78 attendees from students’ unions across the UK. Attendees were also asked to complete a survey. There were 40 responses to the survey from 38 different students’ unions.

This briefing outlines the notes from the meeting, the survey findings, and a summary of the work we’ve done in developing ideas for academic societies.
