University can feel like a maze of lecture halls, group projects, and the occasional existential crisis. But here’s the thing: university life isn’t just about surviving the chaos. It’s about thriving, finding your people, your passion, and your purpose. And what better way to do that, than by joining one of UTS’s 180+ ActivateUTS clubs? Whether you're plotting your corporate takeover, ready to change the world with a well-placed tweet, or fighting for a cause that really matters (and let’s be real, you are), there’s a society here that’s just waiting to meet your unique vibe. So grab your iced coffee, trust the guide of someone who has absolutely nailed this whole university thing (yes, that’s me), and let’s figure out which faculty-related club is your perfect match!
For the Future Tycoons & Visionary CEOs
If you’ve got your eyes set on the boardroom, a killer work ethic, and a wardrobe that’s 90% blazers, then the Business and Commerce societies are your kismet. Here, future moguls and industry game-changers gather to dissect the market, swap the latest insider tips, and network like seasoned pros. But it’s not all spreadsheets and business plans, expect a cocktail of ambition, strategy, and maybe even a cheeky espresso martini or two. If your idea of a good time involves crafting the next big pitch or reading up on stock market trends, you’ll fit right in with the high-flyers of tomorrow.

This is where the builders of tomorrow come together to push boundaries, create groundbreaking innovations, and bring futuristic ideas to life (I mean, that’s what it looks like to me at least). If you’re not afraid to get your hands dirty with the tech that’ll shape the future, this is your home.

For the Creatives, Rebels & Intellectual Mavericks
You’re probably the person who’s been caught in deep conversation about whether modern art is actually a form of social protest or if it’s all just an elaborate con. If you spend your free time painting, writing, debating the meaning of the universe, or working out how to turn a rant about pop culture into a thesis, then the Arts and Social Sciences societies are calling your name. This is where all the thinkers, dreamers, and questioners hang out to stretch the boundaries of creativity and knowledge. You’ll find yourself surrounded by people who’ll challenge your views, fuel your imagination, and spark debates that will leave you asking, “Is there even an answer to this?” If your idea of fun is attending gallery nights that probably involve a glass of wine you can’t afford, and getting lost in intellectual discussions that spiral out of control, then this is where your mind can roam wild.

For the Science & Health Pioneers & Problem Solvers
If you’re one of those people who actually reads the health section of every magazine (and knows what CRISPR is), then you’re probably ready to dive into the Science and Health societies. Think of it as your personal lab where knowledge meets action and where you’ll join forces with people who are passionate about changing the world — one scientific breakthrough at a time. From solving global health crises to designing sustainable solutions, these societies aren’t just about theory, they’re about making things happen. Whether you’re in the lab researching something that could save humanity or volunteering on a health initiative across the globe, this is where your intellectual curiosity and desire to make a tangible impact can truly thrive. Just don’t be surprised if someone casually drops the next big cure in your conversation. This is where science is serious, but the vibes are anything but.

For the Justice Warriors & Global Changemakers
If you’ve ever yelled at the TV during a social justice debate or wanted to write a dissertation on why your favourite activist should run for president, then the Law and International Studies societies are your natural habitat. These are the frontlines of societal change, where future lawyers, human rights advocates, and global reformists gather to fight injustice and advocate for the voiceless. Whether it’s tackling climate change, debating human rights, or rewriting international law, you’ll be surrounded by people who are as committed as you are to making the world a more equitable place. And conveniently, you’ll have the tools, the platform, and the support to turn your beliefs into action. So, if you’re ready to turn your passion for justice into a career that actually matters, this is where you make your stand.
