Whether you want to indulge your passion for chess, help build an electric racing vehicle or join a sporting team, there is a club or society for you.  

As you walk around our campuses on Open Day, you’ll spot plenty of RMIT’s clubs out and about, so be sure to ask about the ones you’re interested in.
