Welcome to Mechsoc, the home of all Mechanical Engineering students here at Birmingham! As a society our focus is making sure you have the best possible time here by giving you as many opportunities as possible to network, collaborate and socialise with people like you. To do this we run careers events, society sport, guest speakers from industry, on and off-campus socials and the odd pub quiz. MechSoc is completely free and as a Mechanical Engineering student you're already a member! We have so much planned and can't wait to see the MechSoc family grow this year.
Go ahead and find us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to keep up to date with all our plans, and drop us a message if you need us!
