Description
Welcome to MechSoc!
The official society for Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bristol
Who are we?
Established in 2012, we are a young society with tons to offer. We welcome anyone into the society, not just Mechanical Engineering students. So, if you have an interest in engineering, or just want to get to know your course-mates, join us today!
We ensure all of our events are a fun, friendly, and inclusive environment. We make sure all members of the society are treated equally in the support and the opportunities given.
Our members get access to exclusive events led by industry professionals, as well as academic & social support from other members. We've got something for everyone; from club nights to industry talks and formals to house schemes. We also run events involving lectures such as the lecturers vs students pub quiz, take a look below and check out more on our Social Media.
Fortnightly Events
We host events every two weeks to make sure that you know what to expect and can plan to suit you! We organise games nights and design challenges as well as fundraisers and cosy pub quizzes! Take a look at some of the posters/photos for previous year's events below! This year we will be doing a bigger variety of events, so be sure to follow our social media to find out what we have planned.
House Scheme
Feeling homesick? The MechSoc house scheme is one of our main focuses this year and is a core part of the society experience. For freshers, it provides an unmissable opportunity to make friends with all of our engineering undergrads.
-
We send out surveys to help us get to know you, and based on those responses we pair you with your new house!
-
Then in small groups, first years are paired with house leaders from second or third year.
-
There will be house socials (e.g. pub quiz, design challenges etc.) throughout the year providing plenty of opportunities to get to know your own family and others.
These are the photos of some of the events we held in previous years:
