Faculty Houses

By default, all students (day and residence students) belong to the Faculty House of the Faculty in which they are registered.

There are no membership fees to join a Faculty House, but students have the option to purchase items such as T-shirts or to attend camps and other events for which fees are charged.

Faculty Houses have an academic focus and plays an important role in linking students and staff in the Faculty. The Faculty House also serves as a link with the Class Representative System within the Faculty.

Faculty Houses collaborate with other student organisations such as Day Houses, Key Committees and Special Committees.

Typical activities include personal and professional development opportunities, such as field trips, industry visits and speakers on various topics.

Some Faculty Houses participate in competitive sports leagues hosted by the SSC, Student Culture (Stuku) events and RAG Related activities such as the RAG of Hope Day.
