Study Association
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.
FMF
Welcome to FMF, the (Applied) Mathematics and Physics study association! We are a very diverse and friendly community and we’re open to members from across the FSE. Whatever your interest is, there is often someone around who shares it! In our cozy members' room (located in the atrium of the Feringa Building) students like to grab a coffee, work, discuss their homework, study and most importantly, have a nice time chatting. If you have any questions about your courses, there’s almost always someone in the room who can help you!
The entire association is run by enthusiastic students, who, as part of different committees, organize social, educational and career events. We organise annual mathematics and physics symposia to broaden your scientific horizons. On the social side, we have a committee specifically for masters students, hosting pubquizzes, barbecues, board game evenings and more! Next to that, organise the cute art events like tote bag painting or yearly LAN-party and naturally “kamerborrels” where we gather together for drinks and chats.
Perhaps one of our favorite events is the foreign excursion we organize every year, to places such as Lund, Vienna or Copenhagen, where we visit various research institutes and universities. Our magazine, “Periodiek”, includes interviews with professors, fun puzzles, new recipes and showcases our members' fantastic writing skills! Career events are also one of our top priorities, from company excursions to the yearly Math and Physics Alumni Seminars, where you have the occasion to learn more about future career opportunities!
If any of these sounds interesting to you, consider joining one of our committees, or explore more during the committee market, which we will organise at the end of September! If you wanna be up to date about our activities, keep an eye on the calendar on our website or check out pictures from different events on Flickr and Instagram. We are excited to meet you in September!
