Being at UCA isn’t all hard work, so we provide the opportunity for students to participate in Clubs and Societies by either running one or being a member.
From interest, academic and cultural based societies, to fitness and team sports, there is a dedicated member of staff to equip you with the skills and support to accomplish your vision. They provide support for any student who wants to start their own group, so no previous experience needed.
Please note that Clubs and Societies Memberships are non-refundable.
Clubs and Societies are only open to UCA students, staff and alumni.
Clubs and Societies can only be started and led by current UCA students.
If you're interested in being a part of a Sports Club but it doesnt exist yet, click here!
Here you can find useful documents that will help you with the everyday running of your club or society.
Everything you need to know about awards and recognition, clothing and facilities.
Any UCA student can apply for the Participation Fund if they encounter financial or equipment barriers to taking part in Clubs, Societies and Communities. Clubs, Societies and Communities are an important part of extra-curricular life at UCA and support student wellbeing and learning while at university. No student should feel like they cannot take part or are at a disadvantage due to financial hardship or the need to purchase additional materials.
Groups up for adoption are groups which have existed before and are looking for committee members to take them over! This means that for some of these groups, we may already have equipment or facilities set up and ready to go.
If you're interested in adopting one of these clubs or societies, contact Vanessa Silva at vsilva.su@uca.ac.uk or submit the 'Start A New Club or Society' Form above.
Here is a list of all clubs and societies that are up for adoption:
African-Caribbean Society Badminton Club Bangladeshi Society Basketball Club Bollywood Dance Club Cheerleading Club Disabled Students Community Dungeons and Dragons Society Fashion Society Football Club Islamic Society K-Pop Club LGBTQ+ Students Society Music Society Poetry Society Students of Colour Society Women's Society
