Welcome from the MedSoc President
MedSoc also has a jam-packed social events calendar to ensure that you are never short of something to do in your spare time. From weekend trips to famous European cities, fun-filled nights out, go karting, ice skating, comedy club nights, camping trips or even the annual boat party, there will always be something for you to join in with.
The highlight of the MedSoc social calendar is the annual MedBall held at the spectacular ICC, where over 1,500 guests enjoy an evening of live music, excellent dining and fantastic entertainment.

International Student Society
Starting university can be daunting and it is particularly difficult for international students whom are often thousands of miles away from home.
As a member of the International Society you will be able to meet international students across all years who can offer invaluable advice on living away from home and coping with the demands of your course. If you’re an international student, this is likely to become your second family.
MedSoc sports teams
Getting involved with the sports that you love is easy with MedSoc. MedSoc sports teams are flexible enough to fit around your busy study timetable and cater for all abilities. Whether you are keen to keep up with an existing passion, or find a new one, you are welcome to join whatever level you are at.
To add a bit of competitive flavour, some teams compete in the National Association of Medical Schools (NAMS) tournaments against teams from other universities. In addition to the sporting activities, MedSoc sports organise many memorable nights out for you to enjoy with your team mates.
