Departmental Groups

 

EngSoc exists to enhance and expand your University experience – both academic and social. 

EngSoc socials are hugely varied; they range from nights out in Leeds, to formal balls, to coffee and cake breaks on the lawn. Our two major events are the Fresher's Party and the Christmas Ball.

  

Sport

EngSoc sports teams are numerous and vaired. If you are interested in playing football, netball, hockey, or even if you have any suggestions of your own, please contact Justin Peck: en09jp@leeds.ac.uk.

 

We aim to enhance your learning experience, working with staff to bring you special interest talks and discussion groups. We also arrange regular theatre trips to Leeds’ premier theatres, the West Yorkshire Playhouse and Leeds Grand Theatre.

 

We also take the experience of English at Leeds outside the city itself. Some of the most important literary heritage sites in the country are a short train or coach ride away, and the English Society makes it easier for you to get to them. This year we will offer daytrips to historic York, the Brontës’ house at Haworth and Wordsworth’s Dove Cottage.
