Welcome

TUBES (The University of Bristol Engineering Society) is renowned for crazy antics and social events. We organise legendary pub crawls, pool tournaments and Christmas events, which have always had hugely subsidised rates for members and prove to be great fun!

We have several sports teams, organise talks from prominent guest speakers and have links to companies for career advice and opportunities. This year we are also running a parenting scheme to help you start in the department by matching you up with people already in the University to show you around and deal with any problems you may have.

However much you choose to do, you'll find TUBES a welcome break from engineering life!
