Clubs and societies
Whether you're here to compete, create, or just have fun, join a thriving student community and make the most of university life.
Where unconventional minds connect
A sports team or society is more than just a student group – it's a chance to find your people. Whether you’re diving deeper into something you love or throwing yourself into something completely new, there’s no easier way to meet like-minded friends and make the most of university life.
Our teams and societies cover everything – from the academic to the activist, American Football to Volleyball, the creative to the downright quirky. Whatever you're into, there's a place for you here.

Clubs and sports teams
Sport is a huge part of student life at Hull, and our Athletic Union (AU) is at the heart of it all.
With over 50 student-led clubs, ranging from casual kickabouts to competitive leagues, it’s the perfect way to meet new people, stay active and make unforgettable memories.
You’ll be supported by your President for Student Communities, your dedicated Athletic Union Part-time Officer, the Communities Zone, and Hull University Students’ Union (HUSU) staff. They will help to grow your sports teams and ensure the Athletic Union continues to go from strength to strength.
Societies
Not into sports? No problem. Our societies bring people together over shared passions – no sweat required.
Join something fun, like our Lego or Yoga societies. Explore a subject you're passionate about, or just curious to learn more about, through societies like Music or Medical.
For more information, including a list of societies, visit HUSU or contact the President for Student Communities. Alternatively, buy your society or sports team memberships here.
Can’t find what you’re looking for?
Start your own society or sports team
Don’t see anything that suits you? You can set up your own society or sports team. Hull is full of different, like-minded people, and starting your own society is a great way to build your own tribe. You don't need hundred of new members (just 3!) and sometimes its about quality over quantity.
So if you know 3 other people who want to exclusively crochet Kanto Pokémon, or read Nietzsche while running, or chew over their favourite scenes from Ghibli movies. You know what to do.
And they're easier to find than you think...
Students’ Union
Your Students’ Union is led by students, for students. When you enrol at Hull, you’re automatically a free member of HUSU – there's no membership fee.
We're here to make sure you feel part of a thriving community, supporting you to stand up for what you believe in, speak out on the issues that matter, and gain the skills to shape your future.
From societies and sports to social spaces, support, and representation, HUSU is here to make your university experience unforgettable.
