Student societies

Student societies are a great way to connect with other students, work on exciting projects, develop industry networks and have fun.

Science Outreach Team

If you’re new to UNSW or looking at diving into something different, have a look at our UNSW Science student societies. Getting involved beyond your lab and lecture theatre is a great way to meet people and make the most of university life.   

We’ve got a packed program with free events, parties, road trips and career expos. Our societies can also help you access industry internships and international study opportunities. Check out our societies - run by science students, for science students.
