As a society we aim to:  

Create a community of female engineers across all engineering disciplines and related STEM sectors at the University of Nottingham.  

Promote women in the engineering industry, support women who have already chosen a career in engineering and encourage girls to consider studying engineering at a higher level.  

Organise social and professional settings so that our members have the opportunity to make contacts with their peers and network with industry sponsors.  

Host fantastic careers events throughout the year, working directly with the Engineering department to make sure our members are always the first ones to hear about the latest sponsorships, days out in industry, workshops and career opportunities to ensure that you stand out from the other applicants.

PGES is a society that aims to unite all postgraduate engineering students at the University of Nottingham by creating a sense of belonging and fostering an inclusive community for them and their families. 

PGES will give you the opportunity to connect and socialise with engineering PGs from different divisions outside of the work environment through a variety of events that will be organised. 

We will facilitate involvement in university-wide intra-mural sports and other non-competitive sporting clubs and provide support or refer members to existing resources related to non-academic concerns. 

We will also organise various workshops and training sessions as well as host talks by external speakers.

The T&G Architecture Society is a student-led group that holds numerous events focused around Architecture and the Built Environment. We combine a series of lectures and events to provide helpful tools within the profession, with social and welfare events, so that students across the whole department can get to know each other and provide a platform for knowledge exchange. This year we aim to continue the popular online and in-person T-Talks to hear from practising architects, and professionals and discuss issues within the architecture community. We also hope to bring back the Architecture Boat Party and other social events that we have missed out on due to the pandemic. Find out more about the T&G Architecture Society through our social media, or our manifesto.

The T&G society is a great experience, with regular guest lectures which have helped improve and inspire my our own designs. — Jenni Wilson, Architecture student

This is one of the biggest events in any chemical engineering students’ calendar. Every year chemical and environmental engineering students from different universites across the country come together for this massive sporting competition and celebration. During the day you get the chance to represent our university in one of a range of sports from football and rugby, to dodgeball and laser quest, there is something for everyone to do. Then in the evening there is a club night for everyone to socialise.

EEE Soc is a society that caters to students that study in the Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) Department, or to any students that are interested in what we do. 

Our aim is to help our members broaden their understanding of their possible career in EEE by organising and hosting careers events, trips, and socials. We also aim to create provide networking opportunities within and out of the department. 

We know that there's a lot of work involved with an engineering degree, so our society provides opportunities for members to unwind and meet new people on their course through socials and sports.
