All work and no play, especially when one is pursuing a demanding programme of study like medicine or other health science-related courses, can be tough on one’s mental health. With a challenging academic load encompassing endless classes, lectures, tutorials, seminars, labs, and clinical placements, the student might find university life to be isolating and overwhelming.
One way to have a more balanced experience at university is to participate in the clubs and societies on offer there. In addition to being wonderful avenues for you to make friends with people who share similar interests, they also provide opportunities for you to take a break from the rigours of your academic demands while honing important soft skills.

As NUMed welcomes students with diverse cultural backgrounds from all over the world, enrolling into a society or club could be an excellent opportunity for students to click with new peers who share the same interests. On top of that, being a part of clubs and societies enhances your experience as a student.

Often, this can even be an opportunity to network and build friendships and connections that might last a lifetime.
