Medical Students' Society
Representing over 1700 students, we are proud to be the largest student-elected society at the University! We are run by an executive committee of Medical Students elected each year by our fellow Medical Students.
We offer a diverse range of opportunities for students to get involved in, ranging from our big social events to smaller talks and gatherings as well as overseeing and supporting our sub-societies, which cover everything from sports teams to academic specialties.

Events
October
The medic bar crawl
This is one of the biggest events of the year with the entire medical school descending on the bars of Bristol, it really is the best way to meet people from all of the different year groups and is a perfect excuse for some fancy dress!
November
Medic Families
Everyone gets paired up with second year “parents” who host you for a very fun evening with your medic family (drinking and non-drinking options available)! Parents will also be some friendly faces and a source of help and advice throughout the year.
December
Christmas party
March
Spring ball
Think Christmas Party but bigger, fancier, with fair ground rides and all your favourite people – what’s not to love? January exams are out the way and everyone’s looking for an excuse to get dressed up again!
