Welcome to the world of student activities. Being at the University is probably the best opportunity you will have to participate in a wide range of activities. Join one of our student societies and enjoy exciting new experiences, build lifelong friendships and develop new skills outside the lecture room.
With over 80 student societies, we have something for everyone, ranging from academic, religious, developmental, arts and culture and student political organisations. If the society or organisation you’re looking for doesn’t exist yet, there’s another opportunity for you to start your own group! Just download the application for a proposed society form!

They look for people who work well with others, have been responsible and involved in student societies and who have taken up challenges other than just in the classroom.
