Come and Meet your Academic Community and chat with other new students from your course of study!
What are Departmental Mixers?
A Departmental Mixer is an amazing opportunity to meet new students in your faculty and specifically in your course of study. This is a fantastic event in your first few days here at this remarkable university to meet your people from your course, so you can spend Freshers’ Week and beyond with them, building strong friendships and finding that sense of community within your study. You can drop in and out of this event as much as you like within the time advertised so please get involved whether that's for 1 minute or 1 hour. Peer mentors, Academic Reps, SU Staff, SU Officers and Societies will be there supporting the event and supporting your experience.
This Mixer is for students within the Social and Policy Sciences Faculty, and the courses on this Mixer include:
- Social Policy
- Social Sciences
- Sociology and Social Policy
- Sociology
- Social Work and Applied Social Studies
- International Development with Economics
We highly recommend this event to new students as we believe this sets a fantastic standard into what your university journey has in store. We will have icebreaker activities so you can get involved in those as well. If at any point you need a moment away from the event, we have a designated Mixer Rest Space where you can sit down and take a breath. We look forward to introducing you to your people.
This event is open to Undergraduate Students Only and for people specifically of the courses above. You do not need a ticket to attend, just show up at any point during the advertised times, when you can and when you like! However, you will be required to check in upon arrival so please bring your student card with you.

Accessibility Information - What can I expect from this event?
This event will take place in the Tub. Due to the number of courses present at the event with the Tub space, we expect the event to feel busy and crowded and will have high levels of noise. This is due to capacity of people within the facility. As mentioned, we have a designated Mixer Rest Space located outside of the SU if anyone requires it and you can pop in and out as much as you like.
The Tub has full wheelchair access with a lift leading to the Tub. Any questions, queries or concerns you may have before, during or after the event, our Freshers’ Week Captains and different members of staff are there to help.
