Clubs and Societies
There's more to university than just studying.
Joining a club or society at Queen's is the perfect opportunity to meet new people, keep up your interest in a passion or, even better, to find a brand new one you never knew you had.
With over 200 clubs and societies, all of them student-led, there's something for everyone here at Queen's.
Why Join a Club or Society at University?
It's a great way to settle in and find new friends. In a club or society, you'll find people who share your interests or bond with others over finding a brand new hobby.
Develop new skills and build your CV with the opportunity to run for leadership positions in our clubs and societies. Being in a club or society can also help build towards the Future-Ready Award.
Step out your comfort zone and try new things. Going to university and potentially moving away from home for the first time comes with lots of new-found freedom. Try new things and discover who you are!
Why Joining a Society Could Be the Best Thing You Do at Uni
THERE'S A CLUB OR SOCIETY FOR EVERYONE:
Whether you're into team sports, individual challenges or just staying active for fun, there's something for everyone.
From well-loved favourites like soccer, gaelic, rugby, camogie, hockey, basketball and hurling to the unexpected like underwater hockey, floorball, dodgeball, sub-aqua diving or cheerleading with the Queen's Knights, our clubs cover it all.
With access to our state-of-the-art facilities, it's easy to train, compete, or just get together and meet likeminded people, no matter your level.
Whether you're a veteran musician or just love music, our Live Music Society is the perfect place to connect, collab and perform. No band? No problem. You'll find like-minded people who share your passion, whether it's playing, singing or celebrating your favourite artists like the Taylor Swift Society.
If you love the stage then get involved with every part of our Musical Theatre Society's productions, from acting and directing to lighting and costumes.
Get creative with the Arts Society, find a community of fellow writers in the Writers' Society, join photography sessions hosted by the Photographic Society or express yourself through our Fashion Society. There's something for every kind of creative!
Whatever your background, there’s a society at Queen’s to help you explore faith, culture, and heritage.
Whether you want to stay connected to your roots or discover something new, you’ll find a welcoming community here.
Connect with groups like the Christian Union, Jewish Society, and Bhakti Yoga Society, or explore global cultures through the African and Caribbean Society, Indian Society, Chinese Students’ Association, Latin American Society, and many more.
From food and festivals to language and traditions, these societies offer regular events to help you meet new people and celebrate diversity.
Queen's International Student Society (QISS): Bridging Cultures and Creating Community
At Queen's, most of our departments have a student-led society where you can dive deeper into your chosen subject, connect with peers and bring your learning outside of lectures and seminars.
From the Law Society, Biomedical Sciences and Human Biology Society, and Engineering Society to the History Society, Philosophy Society, and Psychology Society, there’s something for nearly every field.
If you're not studying a particular subject but want to explore the society associated with it, many of our academic societies are open to all students giving you the chance to explore new interests, attend events and network with other Queen's students.
