Join our Student Networks!

Looking for a way to connect with others, share experiences, and make a real impact? Student Networks are the perfect place for you! Student networks are student-led communities that represent and support underrepresented groups. As a member of a student network, you will get to plan campaigns, review policy and lobby for equity, diversity and inclusion.

Raising and Giving @ Brunel

Get involved and make a difference with our Raising and Giving (RAG) Initiative! We’re inviting students to nominate a charity they’re passionate about to be considered as our next supported cause. This is a unique chance to bring attention to the organisations and issues that matter most to you, whether it’s local community support, mental health, environmental action, or global aid. Share your suggestions, and let’s work together to create a meaningful impact.

Art Society Getting People Involved!

With their weekly art sessions in full swing and impressive attendance, Art Society are giving students a creative outlet to explore unique and beautiful art forms. Last week, members showcased their talents in a fun bottle painting session, while this week brought out everyone’s creativity with an engaging art collage session. Whether you’re an experienced artist or just looking to try something new, Art Society welcomes everyone to get creative and have fun!
