Undergraduate Studies Co-curricular
HOBBIES AND ACTIVITIES
We believe that a student’s learning goes beyond the lecture theatre and students benefit from the development of their own specific interests and skills.
To supplement such growth, we offer a wide range of co-curricular activities led by enthusiastic staff.
We have a vast and varied array of sessions that bring a lot of joy to the students. Importantly, great emphasis is put on ensuring that our students enjoy a healthy outdoor life to support the academic university curriculum.
Our co-curricular sessions aim to enable every student to broaden their interests and promote self-confidence and self-belief.
Through learning opportunities outside the lecture theatre, we aim to raise achievement and create aspirations through an organised, powerful approach to learning.
Examples of hobbies and activities include football, climbing, choir, swimming and cookery. We have also offered mountain biking, pentathlon, archery, squash and chess. Our hobbies provision varies each academic year.
Hobbies are offered after class from 4:45pm-5:30pm and Saturday morning activities run from 9:30am-12pm. students can make the most of our fantastic facilities across both the Undergraduate Programme and Senior sites.
EQUESTRIAN CENTRE
Having our own Equestrian Centre so close to the College site is a wonderful privilege.
This unique asset brings a range of benefits for our students, from beginners to advanced riders. Here, our BHS-approved professional coaches help students to foster a love of horses and equestrian sports alike.
STUDENT COUNCIL
The Angels College Student Council is a formal group of students who have been elected by their peers to represent them and their views. The group is overseen by Student Council Coordinator Karen Foster, and regularly meets to discuss fundraising ideas and important university issues.
Over the past year, students have worked hard on a number of fundraising campaigns, each of which have been highly successful. In September 2018, the Council organised for all Foundation Year students to wear their finest denim in support of the nationwide Jeans for Genes campaign. Not long after, and proving that actions speak louder than words, the group helped to organise a major fundraising campaign in aid of Bristol students’s Hospital. Most recently, the whole university community joined forces for two charity park runs in aid of the WESC foundation, a specialist day and residential centre for adults and young people living with visual impairment.
