University life brings, in addition to many responsibilities, a wide range of possibilities as to how to spend your free time.
The options are full of new concepts that open up hitherto unexplored paths. In addition to enjoying your hobbies, you can satisfy your interests by discovering new fields of knowledge and entertainment.
To this end, when you arrive in the university world, you will discover a large number of clubs, associations, societies and even fraternities. What they all have in common is that they share an interest with the other members.
University clubs in Madrid
There are as many clubs as there are hobbies. In addition to a large number of clubs, the many universities in the Madrid region offer their own groups made up entirely of students from their university or even faculty.
Here you can get an idea of the type of activities and clubs you can find to enjoy what you like or, who knows, find your future passion.
Sports Club
It’s the first big option that everyone is looking for. Sport is the great hobby of the vast majority of the population, and at university you will find a huge number of sports.
Not only the most popular ones, but also some that are not so well known here, but which nevertheless have a place in the university world. One positive aspect of the university sports clubs is the excellent organisation.
These clubs coordinate with other entities and clubs from other universities to hold tournaments, championships and different events to encourage competition among their members.
And not only tournaments, the facilities that the universities have are usually the best equipped, always thinking about the use and enjoyment of all students, teachers and all those who are part of the clubs.
Esport Club
From sports to Esport. Groups of friends have always been formed around a game that they all liked, but the evolution is to professionalise a passion, and more than an idea, it has been a very present reality for some time now.
Be part of teams of LOL, Valorant, FIFA and other games that are no longer just mere entertainment but are part of real international competitions. Here you will meet other colleagues with the same interests and the same tastes.
Practice, play for fun, train for a tournament or simply exchange impressions and have a good time using a video game as an excuse. Whatever you’re looking for, it’s here.
Digital Evolution and Learning Club
Technology also needs learning, and there are clubs that focus on professional development through the acquisition of practical, current and real knowledge.
One such example is this type of club, where teaching is just as important as the exchange of ideas and impressions to improve your digital skills.
Science and Research Club
Following the parameters of the previous club, personal and theoretical-practical development in an area of study, we take a leap away from the digital.
If you are interested in science, whether it is your field of study or not, this is the kind of club you are looking for. Dissemination is the basis of science, as important as trial and error can be.
Research is a whole area of study that never ends, you never stop learning and this is the perfect place to keep up to date with local and international studies, exchange impressions and ideas. The roots of the ideas of the future grow here.
Theatre and Performing Arts Club
We are radically changing sector and hobby. For those who move between the boards of a stage, visit the great musicals of Gran Vía or dream of being applauded after reciting Shakespeare, this is your club.
The performing arts not only serve to open your mind and get to know wonderful texts and authors, but they will also help you to improve your diction, your non-verbal expression and the way you convey your ideas to others.
Something very similar happens with the debating club, something that seems like something out of a film but is very real and whose advantages go beyond convincing or not the person you are talking to.
Entrepreneurship Club
This is already a well-established idea in all educational institutions; to have a place where future business ideas flourish. There are always restless minds that need to develop their business ideas.
In clubs like this, the viability of the projects is assessed, as well as brainstorming and learning about the type of legislation in force depending on the sector in which your business is developed.
All these questions, and many more that will arise, will be answered in entrepreneurship clubs, in addition to many other clubs that focus specifically on a branch of study, such as law, logistics or economics.
Internacional Club
For those who are eager to discover new cultures, customs and languages, the international club is a must, although depending on the university it may have a different name.
This is where exchange students are welcomed, as well as making friends and making contact with students from other universities. The aim is to establish links with other countries in order to promote the development of both institutions by supporting each other.
Leisure Club
Imagine you’re not from Madrid and you’re new here, what can you do to meet more people like you or from the city who are willing to show you around?
In clubs like this one, different plans are usually made on a weekly basis, where all members are involved and everyone’s interests and tastes are taken into account.
This way you will meet other students with the same passions as you, as well as developing many new activities for you, which will help you to get to know the environment in which you are moving now.
Volunteer Club
Also thinking of others, but in a different way, you will find this volunteering club. Here the most important thing is others, and you will find companions who care about the welfare of others.
We are not only talking about travelling thousands of kilometres to help those most in need, sometimes it is simply taking a walk with someone who needs company, attending to the most basic needs of someone who can live alone or collaborating with volunteer activities with other institutions.
