Student Communities

LSESU's societies at the welcome fair

Societies

Societies are the heart and soul of student life at LSE, and becoming a member is the best way to get more out of your time at university.

We have more than 250 societies at LSESU, with thousands of students being members.

From politics to presenting on the radio, there’s bound to be something for everyone! And if you can’t find something you like, just start your own.

Clubs

Clubs are groups of students who share a passion for sport and come together to play friendlies, compete locally and nationally, or participate in socials.

More than 2,300 students currently represent LSE, both nationally and in London, across more than 40 sports and activity clubs, so why not join them!

Give It A Go

'Give it a Go' events are activities laid on by Clubs and Societies all throughout Welcome.

They are organised for the purpose of showcasing what their group is all about, giving new/returning students a chance to meet new people, and see what's on offer before becoming a full member.

Details of each individual event can be found on the social media accounts of the groups you're interested in joining!

Student Democracy

We're led by Student Representatives who ensure that you get the opportunity to make changes at LSE, LSESU and wider society.

You can start your own campaign, submit a Policy Proposal, represent your course as an Academic Rep, or even run to be one of our next leaders!

Clubs & Societies FAQs

How do I join a society?

We have dozens of student societies and creative communities to join here at LSE, which you’ll be able to sign up to once you’ve enrolled or at Welcome Fair. For more information on our societies, visit our Communities page.

Does LSESU have a gym?

Yes! You can find the LSESU Gym on the 4th Floor in the Saw Swee Hock Building. We aim to keep prices low and provide an excellent service that suits your needs.

The LSESU Gym offers a wide variety of facilities, including a range of resistance machines, cardio equipment and an extended free weights area, all featuring Technogym equipment. Membership of the LSESU Gym also includes free access to a range of fitness classes. Find more info here.

I can’t see a club or society I want, what can I do?

Although we have hundreds of clubs and societies, we know there are still lots that we may not have. We can work with you to get a group set up if you would be interested in running the group.

You can find out how to start a new group on our website here.

If you think we need a new group, but would not be interested in being a student group leader, simply email us at su.socieites@lse.ac.uk to let us know your interests and we will put the word out to students who may be interested in getting the group together.

Can I join more than one club or society?

Yes! We have a broad range of student groups for you to choose from, and you can join as many as you like. Each of them offer different things, so make sure you check your calendar to fit everything in. Some of them are good to join for one-off events that interest you too!
