Whether you're a fresh-faced first year or a seasoned veteran postgraduate student UGA has a place for you, even if you're a non-engineering student.
The society is a fantastic opportunity to gain experience in an industry style environment, working in a multi-disciplinary setting where teamwork and communication is key.
We have received direct feedback from our industry partners that the experience UGA gives students is exactly what they're looking for in prospective employees.
A degree can give a great understanding of theory, but applying the theory that is learned in lectures to a real world problem is a different kettle of fish.
UGA provides the perfect environment to learn how to apply what is learned from a degree program.
Some of our industry partners are so keen on our ability to develop students that they give UGA members prioritised access to internships!
Applications for the academic year 2025/26 are now closed. We tend not to recruit throughout the academic year, but stay tuned for applications opening once more in September 2026.
Everyone is welcome to apply to all teams, but we must keep a cap on membership so everyone has plenty to get stuck into on our projects. Therefore, we do try to prioritise recruiting members out of certain degree programs or with certain skills for individual teams although these are not essential.
We do not expect students to have flawless skills, so if you aren't familiar with some things please do still apply! The whole point of UGA is to learn, so please make sure you show in interest in learning within your application and we're more than happy to take you on board.
