Getting involved with clubs and societies at UQ is one of the best ways for students to make the most of their university experience. Joining a club not only helps you build lasting friendships and expand your social network, but also develops valuable skills like leadership, teamwork, and communication. It’s a great way to find balance outside of your studies, explore new interests, and enhance your personal and professional growth.
