Whether this was your first year or your last, your experience matters - and we want to hear about it!

We’re handing over to a new committee and want every voice - leavers, returners, first years - to take five minutes and share their thoughts.

If you’re graduating, this is your chance to leave something behind - not just memories, but real feedback that will shape the Society for the people coming after you. If you’re coming back, this is how you make next year better than this one.

The form is anonymous and only takes five minutes. Link in is our bio. Thank you! 🌟🌟

LAST ORDERS! Join us for one last round at Hanover Tap on April 28th.
We have three presentations lined up for you and are ready to see the semester out with a bang (we're lining up the pints as we speak)!
As this is the last Drunk History of the year, we won't be requiring tickets, we just want to see as many of you there as possible!

Less than one week to go before our rescheduled Breakaways Forum!

From revolutions and reforms to cultural reimaginings and ideological departures, our speakers examine what it really means to “break away” from the past - and whether such breaks are ever as complete as they claim.

Come and support our speakers! The link to get your free ticket is in our bio!

Students stand with staff! ✊

We believe staff working conditions are student learning conditions. HCA students: your lecturers, tutors, and support staff are taking action to defend the quality of education – and we can support them too.

🖊 Sign our open letter by Friday 3rd April, 4:30 pm demanding the University:
✔ Rules out compulsory redundancies
✔ Engages in genuine consultation with staff & unions
✔ Prioritises the long-term health of our academic community
Every signature counts. Let’s protect the integrity and breadth of our courses, and show solidarity with those who teach and support us.

Swipe through to read the full letter & sign (link in our bio).
