Clubs & Societies

Enriching the whole person is part of the mission of Mary Immaculate College and students are encouraged to involve themselves in extracurricular activities to get a good balance between college work and recreational time. Mary Immaculate Students' Union (MISU) offers a broad selection of ‘clubs and socs’ - spanning arts, culture, entertainment, education, sports, welfare and charity.

About Clubs & Societies

Clubs and Societies strive to provide a student-led space at MIC, catering to a wide range of interests. With 30+ groups to choose from, finding your niche is easy! With interest areas ranging from academic to sporting and social, there's a club or society for every MIC student. Clubs and Societies help you to expand your college experience outside the bounds of the classroom, so join today to learn new skills and make new friends!

Mary Immaculate College and MISU take great pride in the clubs and societies available to students. MIC has enjoyed great success at the annual Board of Irish College Societies (BICS) Awards. As recently as 2025, it won Best Society in a Cultural, Academic or Social Field (Small College) for MIDAS (Mary Immaculate Dramatic Arts Society).

Clubs and societies are a great way to share an interest or hobby with like-minded people. You can check out the full list of MIC clubs and societies on the MISU website, or any MIC student can coordinate with the Students’ Union to set up a new club or society.

Spotlight on MIDAS

Mary Immaculate Dramatic Arts Society

MIDAS is the longest-running society at MIC. Each year they hold both a play and a musical production, with both cast and crew roles available to all members. The society also holds weekly events including singing workshops, open mics and themed social nights. MIDAS have taken home twelve awards (and counting!) from BICS, mostly in the Best Society and Best Event categories.

MIDAS pride themselves on providing an inclusive and accepting space for students at MIC. Whether you’re a theatre enthusiast or just looking to make friends, MIDAS could be the place for you!
