Our Clubs

Together with its sub-clubs, the NIE Student Teachers' Club organises a range of social, sports, cultural and educational activities for students.

The administration of the NIE Student Teachers' Club is vested in the hands of an elected Management Committee and the elections are held annually. The Committee members hold office from the date of election until the next occasion upon which a new Committee is elected.

The Club's Management Committee operates with the advice and guidance of two Club Advisors. The NIE Director is the Chief Advisor whilst an academic staff from NIE is appointed to be the Second Advisor.
