Societies and clubs
Getting involved in a club or society is one of the best ways to make friends, explore your interests, and feel part of the university community. With hundreds of societies covering everything from music, drama, and debate to environmental action, chocolate tasting, and hip hop, there’s something for everyone. These student-led groups are open to all, and if you don’t find what you’re looking for, the Students Unions will support you to set up your own.

Student media
Student media is another exciting way to get involved. From presenting on radio or creating podcasts to writing for student publications or producing video content, you’ll have the chance to develop real-world skills and showcase your creativity. Many students use this experience as a springboard into careers in journalism, broadcasting, and the creative industries.
Volunteering
Volunteering and fundraising are also at the heart of student life. Whether you're supporting local causes, taking part in global charity challenges, or organising events, there are endless ways to make a positive impact. Dedicated student groups help coordinate projects and provide opportunities to get involved in ways that match your interests and availability.
What our students say
“Coming to Exeter, I was surprised at the amount of different societies available for students to join. This was something I was excited to dive into, and I participated in events with the Literature Society, Crocheting and Knitting Society, K-pop Society, and many sports societies. It was a great way to meet new people and I always tell new students to try out as many as they can because you don't get the chance to do these things once you leave university. "
