Professional Organizations, Clubs & Societies
Professional Organizations, Clubs and Societies are dedicated to developing quality students. The UCC currently has a host of functional clubs and societies that are designed to suit your varied tastes and interests. We take pride in nurturing students so that they will leave the University equipped for the world of work; through their various planned activities, students are exposed to outreach, advocacy, sports and a host of other disciplines.
You can see the list of existing clubs here.
Not seeing a club that you would like to join? Please contact the Department of Student Support to discuss the formation of a new club. All you need are ten (10) other students who share your interests. We look forward to hearing from you!
