Getting involved in the life of the University is a great way for your child to make friends. We currently have eight student societies they can join, including:
- Computer Science and IT
- Dance
- Football
- Health and Wellbeing
- International Students' Association
- Movies
- Swimming Club
- Travel and Tourism
Whatever their interests, we'll help your child find friends and have a happy and fulfilling experience.
If they're having trouble making friends, we recommend they speak with our dedicated Health and Wellbeing team who can offer them support.
We're known as a friendly and open university - we welcome students from all over the world. Don't just take out word for it - we rank 16th (out of 131 universities) in the 'University of the Year' category of the Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSC) 2019, and 9th in the 'Student Support' category. The WUSC is the only national award voted for by students.
