Malayali Society (University of Southampton)

UoS Malayali Society [SMS] strive to preserve our heritage while also demonstrating a forward-thinking approach in everything that we do. We are a society that welcomes all and discriminates none as we look forward to welcoming those interested in learning more about our culture and traditions.

These are promoted through the various events we plan to host throughout the year. We look forward to collaborating with other societies through inter Uni-tournaments in sports and performing arts. We aim to build a platform in which Malayali’s can be proud of who they are and what they stand for.

We have a dedicated committee to provide as representatives for the Malayali community in the Uni of Southampton. We currently operate on our Facebook, Instagram and TikTok pages in which we regularly post any upcoming news or events. These are all formed and placed so that students have more than one way of reaching out if they have any queries, feedback's etc.

We hope that by providing these platforms, we can foster a steady network, which serves as a welfare for the Malayali students of the current and future. At SMS, we want to tackle issues faced within our community through various debates and panel discussions which we aim to hold. We hope holding such debates and discussions can help students to broach any issues which often goes overlooked. Being a Malayali is not just an ethnicity but an emotion.

There is a saying, ‘no matter which part of the world you go, you will always find a Malayali’. The home away from home experience is what we endeavours to bring to this society.
