Meeting new people, forging new friendships and feeling a sense of belonging are an important part of university experience and helping you with this is important to us at St George’s.    

We’ve created Making Connections to provide a range of virtual communities and formats that will help you make connections with fellow students from across programmes and with staff at a time when Covid-19 restrictions mean that our university community is operating partially online.

Find out more below about the range of Making Connections communities and the kinds of activities you can participate in.  All of them run throughout the year but will be more frequent during the welcome weeks.  They will start largely online as Teams communities and move on-campus when possible. 

Don’t forget to also look at the activities and welcome events being planned by your Students’ Union.
