10. Students' Union Societies
Queen Mary Students' Union lists a wide variety of societies. The Students' Union web pages also list details about how to set up your own society if none of the existing groups fit your interests.
Maths Society
We have a hugely popular and successful society which recently won 4 different awards including Academic Society of the Year. The society's main role is to organise social events to get everyone in the School of Mathematical Sciences together. Non-maths students are of course welcome as this will help promote the subject and the whole society in Queen Mary.
The Maths Society is an Academic Society working closely with the School of Mathematical Sciences at Queen Mary, University of London and with QM Careers Group. The society consists of students who are enthusiastic about mathematics and want to share their passion with the rest of Queen Mary. The society runs numerous academic and social events throughout the year including an annual trip abroad.
We hope to make the society as successful as possible and make members feel proud of being part of the society. We will make the best use of students' membership fees and try to include as many members as possible in our decision making.
