Wellbeing Supports
There are many ways for students to find help when faced with urgent or minor difficulties during their time at UCD. The University has a team of professionals who can help you with most situations and we would encourage you to reach out and connect with our team if you need to.
Student Societies
With over 80 student societies, UCD has something for everyone. Being involved in society life is a great way to make friends and develop your skills. The University experience is all about getting involved and getting active, trying something new, having fun, and making some great friends and memories along the way. You can join any of the student societies throughout the year by attending their events and getting in touch.
Sports Clubs
Getting involved in a sports club is an ideal way to keep fit, learn a new skill, meet people with similar interests, as well as provide a welcome break from academic life. UCD sports clubs are for the most part student-run and student-led, so you can play your sport and if you wish also lead and develop your club. With nearly 50 sports clubs to choose from, ranging from team sports, adventure sports, water sports to martial arts, there is something for everyone!
