about the Engineering Society
Southampton University Engineering Society (SUES) is a student society representing the students of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Southampton.
SUES arranges regular social events from the ubiquitous student pub crawls through to an annual ball (held in the autumn term) with a wide variety of other events, highlights of recent years included:
- Paint Balling
- Indoor Go-karting
- Clubbing at the Opera House, Bournemouth
- Jongleurs Comedy Club
- The Annual Engineers and Nurses Ball
In addition to the social events the society also runs sports teams in a variety of intramural leagues, runs a second hand bookshop for all those unwanted textbooks and works with the industry to help out with career advice, trips and placements.
