Student Organisations and Activities

Under the guidance of different PolyU hosting units, a rainbow of student organisations and interest groups hold hands with the University to create a vibrant and colourful campus culture. Natures of these student organisations range from academic-discipline related, professional, cultural, recreational, sports, social to just fun interest.

Faculty / School / Department Student Associations

Students are automatically members of their respective departmental student society and Faculty / School Student Association. The Associations altogether strive for the enrichment of university life, welfare and the interests of the students belonging to their corresponding faculty / school.

Interest Clubs

Besides academic pursuits, students are encouraged to explore leisure activities to develop a balanced university-life. Here at PolyU we have a wide range of student-led interest clubs and societies that provide excellent opportunities to support personal growth and development. Involvement in these clubs can be both rewarding and educational. Developing new skills, broadening horizons, making friends who share similar talents, passions and interest…all these will make a memorable chapter of your university life.

Non-local Student Associations

A number of student-initiated associations are established and affiliated under the Student Affairs Office (SAO) to engage and serve the non-local student community. Non-local student associations not only provide a platform for students to make new friends and share their university experience but also act as a catalyst for nurturing an internationalised culture conducive to student integration. Extracurricular activities offered by these non-local student associations help foster cross-cultural friendships and exchange of ideas, contributing to a caring and fulfilling campus life for all students.

The social gathering restrictions under the pandemic do not restrain the non-local student associations from organising student activities. Amid the times when face-to-face events are suspended, they apply their creativity to run virtual events to promote multicultural integration and enrich U-life for fellow students.

Currently, affiliated under SAO we have eight student associations set up by non-local students:
