Student Societies


Joining a Society will help you make friends, learn new skills, pursue your interests, broaden your horizons and go on great trips. Societies provide the best free/affordable entertainment in Galway. Being a member of a Society gives you access to high profile speakers, educators and potential employers. It gives you an opportunity to unleash your creative potential, engage, volunteer, contribute and make a difference both on campus and in the wider community. You can also receive your ALIVE Certificate for your work with Societies.
