Join a Society

All of our clubs and societies are run by students, for students - and membership is open to all ARU students.

Sports teams at ARU are managed by Team ARU, but you will find information on how to join one below.

We have over 100 interest and course-based societies for you to join. Whether you fancy trying something new, build on your existing skills or want to find new friends who love the same things you do, visit our societies at our Welcome Fair on Wednesday 18 September. Take a look below for a flavour of what to expect on the day...

Lots of our societies will be hosting FREE taster sessions throughout the Welcome period. These sessions will give you a chance to try out the group before buying your membership. Don't miss out on the chance to meet new friends and find your new hobby! Check out our What's on Calendar to find out which sessions you can attend.

Team ARU's Sports Clubs are open to all, from elite sportspeople to complete beginners.  On Wednesday 18 September we will be joined by a range of teams so make sure to come and say hello.
