Heriot-Watt University Student Union

Jump Start

This society is part of the Jump Start Scheme.

Sometimes a society that has existed in previous years doesn't continue on into the new year for whatever reason, often because the people who run it graduate. This means that sometimes a society is ready to go, but missing a crucial part of what's needed to make it tick, that could be you! With our jump start a society programme, you can become a society leader and pick up where the society left off! If you're interested in adopting this society, please contact the Societies Team for more information! Otherwise, if you'd be interested in joining the society, please sign up so we know which societies have the highest level of interest and where we can offer the most support!

Potential New Society Alert!

This is a brand new society - and we need members!.

This society is brand new, and in order to become an official society it needs a minimum of 10 members before it can start.

If you love the sound of this society and would absolutely join it if it was set up, then see the Join section below to show your interest!
