Software Engineering and Computer Science Society (SECS)	The society is open to all those who wish to join however its main purpose is to provide a social setting for those in the Discipline of Computer Science and Software Engineering to get to know each other. Some of the society activities include cartoon and dvd nights, fundraising for charities such as the Luekaemia Foundation and provide a place to meet new people.
The Newcastle University Chemical Engineering Society	The Newcastle University Chemical Engineering Society (NUChES), is the major representative body of Chemical Engineering undergraduate and postgraduates students and staff at the University of Newcastle. It is a society run by the students to provide social activities and support for the students of Chemical Engineering, and to promote interaction between students, academics, and local industries. We are a progressive and innovative faculty, and have experienced considerable growth over the last few years. NUChES organises several BBQ's each semester and runs a couple of major events as well. Bowling night is regarded as one of the most fun events run by the society. NUChES hires the whole bowling alley and the result is a good time for all attending. The Hunt is run on the eve of autonomy day, and it open to the whole university. The aim of the hunt is to solve cryptic clues to find locations, before the "freestyle" section in which participants must take humourous photo's of themselves. The formal dinner is a chance for students and lecturers to mix with attending industry representatives, and a good reason to break out the formal wear.
