As part of its pilot of the new style OUSA structure, OUSA in Scotland has established 14 different informal Student Groups. These Groups are intended to open up opportunities for students to socialise, network and provide mutual support to each other. Some Groups are purely social, others interest related whilst other Groups act as support networks. The Groups are very flexible, free to join and operate on an informal basis. Some organise regular meet ups for students whilst others operate primarily online. Have a look at what’s on offer and get in touch if you would like to find out more.
