Clubs & Activities
At Petroc, we believe that college is about more than just your course - it’s about discovering who you are, building confidence, and making lasting memories. Our enrichment programme is designed to help you do exactly that.
Alongside our academic and competitive sports academies, we offer a wide range of clubs and experiences that support your personal development, wellbeing, and creativity. Whether you want to explore new hobbies, build your CV, meet like-minded people, or just try something fun, there’s something for everyone.
From relaxed social sessions like board games, cooking on a budget, and step aerobics, to cutting-edge options like AI content creation, 360° video production, and esports - our activities are as diverse as our students. Want to perform on stage, start your journey as a social media creator, or learn how to keep your car running? You can do that here too.
You’ll also find plenty of opportunities to get active, make a difference, and explore your identity - through groups like LGBTQ+ socials, Earth Scholars, and our Duke of Edinburgh programme.
Explore. Compete. Create. Connect. Make your time at Petroc truly unforgettable.
