Universities Scheme
Making a local impact
Scheme Lodges
Tradition and continuity are just two of the values which characterise the relationship between Freemasonry and universities. It was over 200 years ago that the first university Lodge – Apollo University Lodge – was founded at Oxford in 1818.
Ways to Join
If you don’t know anyone who is a member, and that you can talk to, then your first step is to complete the membership enquiry form. We will then get in touch with you, talk you throught the process of joining, and take time to explain what Freemasonry is, what it means to be a Freemason, and finally find you a suitable lodge.
- Register your interest
All you need to do is simply register your interest with the membership team. - Send us your details
We will then ask you to complete a short form, which will be forwarded to the relevant Province. - A representative will be in touch
A local representative will then be in touch to tell you more about Freemasonry, answer any questions you may have and advise you of the most suitable University Scheme Lodge for you to join.
