UCC Societies

UCC Societies provide an outlet for students’ talents, creative and social activity; working to the belief that you as a student deserve a university experience that fits you as an individual. The committees are run by a democratic student-led organisation encompassing a range of student interests—from political and debating, creative, religious and charitable, academic and social. The societies in UCC cater for over 10,000 members with more than 1400 committee positions elected amongst them to help in the running of each entity. Societies are very much part of the social fabric of the campus community.

UCC believes that it does not simply lead its students, it empowers you as a student to become a leader yourself. If you are enthusiastic to participate and engage in a wide range of Community Engagement Programs such as School Mentoring, Traveller Literacy, Schools Debating Programs, Coder-Dojo, Art Classes with Cope Foundation and Homework Clubs, the UCC Societies is the place for you!
