Read more about the departments by going onto our Instagram @ucdformulastudent where we've uploaded detailed information regarding the available roles in each department.
No.
While experience in areas such as CAD modelling, circuitry, or marketing may be an advantage on your application, depending on the department you apply for, it is not required.
Instead, we seek applicants who are willing to demonstrate enthusiasm and effort to learn and work on the car and put in the hours for the project to get our car competition ready.
Please go to our Linktree where you can find the application forms for each department.
Please take the time to answer each question carefully, as this form is how we judge your eligibility (we don't do interviews, unfortunately, due to the high volume of applicants we receive). So make your application count!
You may apply to as many departments as you wish. However, if you are selected, you will be offered a place in only one department.
The main team meeting takes place weekly every Tuesday at 6pm. All members are expected to attend this meeting.
There is a second optional meeting on Thursdays at 6pm, for anyone who wants help with their work or has any questions they want to talk through with our captains.
Yes, very!
We recommend putting a good bit of time and effort into your application if you are serious about joining the team.
The application deadline is Sunday, 22nd September @ 11:59pm
Deliberation may take up to a week following the application deadline, and we strive to get back to all applicants as soon as possible with a response. However, please bear with us as we receive many applicants per year.
Visit our socials or our website to see our past work and recent posts made about our departments and the type of roles available in the team.
We will also be at the Fresher's Tent during Fresher's Week (16th-20th September) with members happy to answer any questions you have and talk about their experiences on the team.
Additionally, we will be hosting an Info Night session for people to attend on Wednesday, 18th September @ 6:15pm in O'Brien Science Building, Theatre E. All are welcome to attend!

If you want to reach out to us, DM us on Instagram @ucdfomulastudent and we'd be happy to chat. Alternatively, you can also email us.
Remember, we will be at the Fresher's Tent, so that's an excellent opportunity to come and ask about what life is like at UCD Formula Student. And, of course, you can also have a go at the SIM Racing set-up we'll have (there may be prizes!)
