Student organizations

Study associations within FSE

A study association is an organization run by a team of students from the respective bachelor’s and master’s degree programme(s). The FSE study associations organize many activities for students, including introductory camps and monthly “borrels” (informal social gatherings, often with drinks), but also more serious events such as company visits or conferences. Study associations differ from the general student associations where the degree programme is irrelevant. And study associations do not have hazing rituals.

Most degree programmes also have a student platform, in which students from all cohorts meet to discuss their degree programme. This way, problems can be identified at an early stage and possibly even resolved before the end of the course unit in question. Bètastuf is the overarching organisation for all student-representation in FSE.
