JoiningaSociety

Societies are a core part of UNSW’s campus culture. They are a great way to immerse yourself into activities that you may be interested in, whilst also giving you opportunities to upskill and make new friends while you study!

Arcsocieties

Arc is a student organisation at UNSW that aims to enhance your student experience by offering a range of clubs, volunteering, sports and society opportunities Arc membership is free and is your gateway to enjoying student life, so it would be worth paying a visit to Arc Reception to grab a shiny membership sticker for your Student ID!

There are many societies in UNSW that cater to a variety of hobbies and interests, including our very own Women in Technology, DogSoc, QuidditchSoc and more!

Whyjoinasociety?

What’s even more exciting than being a society member is being a part of its subcommittee! Being in the internal team to create and deliver society content is one of the most rewarding and fun ways through which you can make friends and contribute to student life. It's a great chance to work on your hard and soft skills by contributing to something you’re passionate about

Benefits of joining a society include:

Expanding your network

Upskilling yourself

Learning about industry

Having fun!

Anyone can apply and applications tend to open during the first few weeks of Term 1, so ensure to keep your eyes peeled! More information regarding WIT’s subcommittee positions can be found on the next few pages
