Welcome to African-Caribbean Society

ACS aims to welcome any interested individuals who wish to become members of the society, irrespective of their background or creed. The society strives to promote unity and equality amongst the student population at UCLan. It seeks to create an awareness of the diverse cultures of the Afro Caribbean people, fun and above all, a sense of belonging.

People should join our society because we are a fun, diverse and educated group of being that are up for anything. We are not only diverse in terms of the members we have in our society but also in the activities that we put on for the people in our university. We welcome everyone from all walks of life to join our society.

The society will encourage educational values through several key methods. Finally the society will also be working alongside other SU clubs and societies both within UCLan and with other universities nationwide to organise future joint events.

Ongoing Student Group Elections

Medical Societies Committee By-Elections Autumn 2025

Medical Societies Committee By-Elections – Shape Your Student Experience! By-elections are now open for empty committee positions across all 16 medicine-themed student societies, including the central Medical Society and 15 speciality societies (e.g. Surgery, Paediatrics, Psychiatry, and more). These societies are entirely student-led and play a vital role in creating extracurricular opportunities, academic support, and a sense of community throughout your medical journey. Anyone can put themselves forward - you don't have to have existing experience on a society committee. We're looking for new faces, fresh voices and bigger ideas!

42 posts are up for election.

Nominations open at 12:00 on Wednesday 19 November 2025 (in 31 hours)

The polls open at 09:00 on Friday 28 November 2025 (in 10 days)
