Joining a society is a great way of meeting new people with similar interests and making friends that quite often last longer than your time at college. Here at DBS it is very easy to join an existing society well or set up a new society. 

It is generally accepted that if more than 30 students are interested in forming a new society, then they will be formally ratified as an official DBS society by the college. Societies are normally set up at the start of each academic year in advance of member sign-up day which occurs during Freshers' Week. However some societies can be set up throughout the year as new students realise they have common interests and wish to set up a new society.

If we dont have a society that suits your interest then speak to our Sports and Societies Officer who can advise you of the steps that you need to take to set up your Society upon arrival at DBS.


A taste of some of the societies available to students at DBS are:

• The Film Society
• The Law Society
• Radio DBS
