BEYOND THE CLASSROOM

The Faculty of Applied Sciences is home to a number of student societies, groups and teams that host a variety of activites throughout the academic year. There are many opportunities to get involved in the student community including: social events, networking nights, competitions, career fairs, and industry field trips.

We encourage our students to make the most of their time at SFU and that these connections and experiences will last beyond your undergraduate years.
