Every September, ELC Bristol students attend the University of Bristol Students’ Union Freshers Fair.

It’s a great way to find out about the 350+ societies, sports clubs, groups and support networks – from football to cheese, skydiving to Pokémon!

At ELC Bristol, we always encourage our students to join a Students’ Union club or society. It allows students to pursue their interests while in the UK or take up a new hobby. It is also a brilliant way to meet University of Bristol students, talk to native speakers and make new friends. And, of course, it also gives you the perfect opportunity to practise your English!

Associate Membership

ELC Bristol students can join the Students’ Union by buying an Associate Membership, which costs £25 per person per year. Scan the QR code to find out more or join via this page:
