Study associations

Every study programme at University of Twente has its own study association. An important role of each association is to offer study books at very low prices.

Associations are involved in several studying-related activities such as trainings, symposia, excursions to interesting companies and addressing education-related complaints. Besides study-related activities, the study associations also organize parties, drinks and evening activities/weekends for active members.
