Employers like to recruit students who have been members of STEM Societies.
It shows that you are passionate about your degree subject and have the kind of soft skills employers value.
By featuring your Society on Gradcracker, we will promote you to our employers and encourage them to ‘Like’ you.
This shows that the employer is interested in your society and its members. (Essentially, it’s an invitation to apply.)
Your members are able to ‘Follow’ your society to be alerted to new Employer ‘Likes’ to ensure they never miss out on an interested employer.
This is an excellent way to discover top employers, in diverse industries, that you may not yet be familiar with. It will also help make your application stand out if you mention this in your applications!
The University of Aberdeen Chemical Engineering Society was set up to help Chemical Engineering students connect more closely with the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE). Being part of this network gives our members a great insight into how Chemical Engineering is used in the real world and lets them join a wider professional community through career events, talks, and seminars.
We have now evolved into a supportive community where students from every year can connect, collaborate, and share experiences. We keep our social media active so everyone can stay in the loop with what’s going on.
Each semester, we organise fun and engaging activities - from industrial trips and coffee mornings to pub crawls and study sessions. Our big goal this year is to go to Frank Morton, which we haven’t been to in almost seven years - and we’re so excited to make a comeback!
The Chemistry Society hosts numerous social events throughout the year for the Chemistry department. Whether that be a Freshers’ pub crawl (great for new students!), pub quizzes, an annual ceilidh, mystery lectures and a weekly tea club – there are plenty of opportunities to get to know the chemistry department, have fun and make new friends.
We are open to all, so whether you’re a chemistry student, taking a course in chemistry, or just have a keen interest in it, we offer a chance to meet up with like-minded people and get to know others in the department.
Team Aberdeen University Racing is a society at the University of Aberdeen made up of undergraduate students from a variety of degree disciplines that spend the academic year with the aim of designing and building a single-seater racing car to compete against other international universities in the IMeche Formula Student competition.
The TAU Racing society was originally formed in 2007 consisting of only 10 members. Since then, the team has grown to have over 60 members, who are all key to the smooth running of the society and the development of the TAU vehicle. The entirety of the project is student led through the research, design, building and most importantly the racing.
Through building the vehicle, it helps students consolidate what is learnt in class, and helps them apply that in a real life engineering challenge. Other skills such as problem solving, project management and business planning are also developed, such skills and qualities that are highly sought after in the workplace.
ProtoTAU is a student-led race team comprised of University of Aberdeen students who design, manufacture and race a hydrogen-powered vehicle for participation in the annual Shell Eco-marathon Europe and Africa.

In their first-ever competition in 2019, ProtoTAU's dedication and hard work paid off, and they were awarded the "Most Innovative Hydrogen Fuel Cell Newcomer" award in 2019 and despite facing setbacks due to the COVID-19 pandemic placed 1st in Scotland and 3rd in the UK for the Shell Virtual Eco-Marathon 2021.
ProtoTAU's journey has been filled with challenges, but they have persevered and continued to work towards their goal of promoting a clean and sustainable future. Through collaboration with their partners, they hope to nurture innovation and inspire future leaders in clean energy. ProtoTAU's dedication to creating a hydrogen-powered vehicle for the Shell Eco-marathon Europe and Africa is a testament to their commitment to sustainability and engineering excellence. Our society is currently mostly made up of engineers and business students, but all STEM disciplines are welcome.
