Student organisations
The 4000 students make a clear mark on the small town of Volda (app. 8000 innhabitants). Short distances between the campus, student housing, student societies and clubs, and the surrounding nature, mean that you get the most out of your day here.
Volda University College has many clubs and organisations ran by students, for students. On this page you find a short description of the student organisations. Is your organisation missing from the list? Send an email to STIV (The Student Parliament), with a short description of your organisation!
The offer spans from clubs focusing on sports activities, on impresive nature experiences, concerts, student cafe and festivals, to organisations with a focus on various student media, where you can try your skills as a journalist or photographer, without neccesarily being a media student. Volda has something for everyone's taste. Most of the student clubs and organisations are ran on a volunteer basis and depend on everyone's involvement!
