Academic: These societies, such as the Surgical Society or Biological Society, cater for students who are interested in interacting with one another and with leaders in their field of study.
Faith: These cater for all the major religions, beliefs, doctrines and denominations.
National/cultural: These, such as the Abantu Zambian Society, Hellenic Students’ Association and Zimbabwe Society, represent national and cultural interests.
Political: These represent national and international political organisations.
Special interest: Here you’ll find a broad range of special interest and civil society groups, such as the Black Management Forum, Rainbow UCT, Engineers Without Borders, the Hip-Hop Club and Habitat for Humanity.
Many of the societies will have stands on Jammie plaza during O-Week so that you can get involved. If you’ve missed your chance to sign up during O-Week, then visit the helpdesk on Level 5 at the Steve Biko Students’ Union building.
