Uni life

There’s much more to university than studying. That’s why we encourage you to go beyond the classroom and take part in all the social opportunities we have on offer.

Uni should be an unforgettable experience that changes the way you see the world. You can connect with new people through events, sports, volunteering opportunities, and more.

Clubs and Societies

Clubs and Societies play a vital role in campus life. You can meet students with similar interests and make the most of your time outside of study.

During Orientation Week, we host society days where you can learn all about what each club and society has to offer. If you can’t make it to O Week, don't worry – you can sign up anytime.
