Student Clubs and Societies
Get involved and go beyond the classroom. Student clubs and societies will help you develop both socially and intellectually.
Joining a club or society is a great way to make new friends and explore your interests. Student societies run social events, activities, career networking, tutorials and many other programs.
Science Students’ Society
The Science Students’ Society (SSS) is a non-profit organisation run by a committee of current students. The Society aims to allow students to meet new people, make friends and get the most out of their time at university.
I’ve really enjoyed the friendly and welcoming social atmosphere and the wide variety of extra-curricular activities offered, such as student-run clubs which cater for a huge range of interests. Harriet (majoring in Zoology with a concurrent Diploma in Languages).
