Description
Welcome to BUGGS, the society for all Earth Science students.
Our student-led society aims to create a community feel and connections across degrees and years. We run events throughout the year, and we would love to have you join us!
Social Events
- Social events – we run frequent social events such as BBQs, movie nights, pub crawls, sports events, pub quizes, art events and more.
- Christmas/Summer BUGGS Ball – this is a classic and beloved event! An excuse to get dressed up and have a fancy meal and the highlight of the year!
- Field Trips - we have ran local field trips to geological areas of interest and will continue this into the new academic year
- Academics - frequent academic talks from lecturers and industry professionals are a staple of our society, and last year we had some trips to local company labs and Hinkley Point C!
Our socials will be catered to what members want so feel free to come to us with suggestions. We prices our socials as low as possible to make sure everyone can join it.
Families
We will be offering a parenting scheme for first year students where you will be paired with students from higher years. They are there to answer any questions you may have, be a friendly face and particapate in group socials together.
Contacts
If you have any accessibility concerns, feel free to reach out to us, we want everyone to feel welcomed in the society.
Any suggestions for events are welcome and we are always looking for new ideas
