ARC SOC

ArcSoc is the undergraduate Architecture Student Society, and an integral part of undergraduate student life at Cambridge. Run entirely by and for students, Arc Soc organises a wide range of events and services for architecture students during the year. These include film nights, life drawing classes, talks and the famous Arc Soc cabarets, as well as the Arc Soc materials shop where students can buy materials for their projects at reduced prices. Most importantly, Arc Soc curate, design and run the end of year London exhibition, which displays work from all years in a central London venue in mid July.

THE EXHIBITION

The exhibition is the culmination of the academic year, and is entirely student curated, designed and managed. It is held in London. This year it was held at Ugly Duck in Bermondsey from the 5th - 7th July. You can find out more about the exhibition here.
