The University experience is a terrific chapter in anyone’s life and sometimes it is not until you have left the University and gone into the workplace that the full impact of the freedoms and opportunities are really appreciated… or regretted, if you let them pass you by. For some people, University is very much a second chance to do things you may have skipped over in secondary school; the fact that you may not have exploited this opportunity in a previous third level experience, or a maybe just a brand new challenge. Whatever the reason, there are some really cool opportunities on your doorstep as part of life in this huge social network known affectionately in UL as “Clubs and Socs”.
Currently there are over 6000 people signed
up to the membership books of the 56 Clubs &
Societies on the University of Limerick Campus.
The Clubs & Societies office is a fully resourced
working office to complement these voluntary
groups and is located upstairs in the Student
Centre. Within the Student Centre there are;
- Dedicated meeting rooms for Clubs and
Societies
- Photographic Society darkroom, a sound
proofed Music Society room and a Computer
society room (Skynet) complete with hub
and hardware
- We also provide a 15 seat Ford Transit Mini
Bus and a Mercedes Sprinter 7 seat mini bus
for equipment transport and a Toyota Land
Cruiser – incidentally we set aside €4000
annually for driver proficiency training, lesson
and tests for members willing to offer the
service to their particular club or society
- Clubs & Societies creative and innovative
thinking delivered a €5.1M Boathouse of
which €4.3 was directly contributed by the
students; it houses the first indoor powered
rowing tank in Ireland and is home to our
Rowing, Kayak, and Sub Aqua and Mountain
bike clubs.
- Two full time staff dedicated to Clubs &
Societies
If you want that added value to your UL
experience maybe you have the skills set
and enthusiasm as a person to be the next
generation of the Clubs & Society Social
Network?
How much fun would it be to experience :
Skydiving in France?
Sub Aqua Diving in Egypt?
Kayaking in Montenegro?
Caving in Yorkshire and mountaineering in
Scotland?
Debating in the UK, Istanbul, Estonia,
Amsterdam?
Windsurfing in Spain?
Experience Spanish or German Architecture

You get the picture…
