Study Associations

In principle, every study program in Groningen has an association. Such study associations allow you to get to know your fellow students within your program in an informal environment, where there are often few obligations. A lot is possible; you can become as active as you want. You can also join a committee (group that organizes activities or, for example, makes a yearbook for the association). Study associations have a mix of study-related and social activities, so from company visits to fun get-togethers and trips inside and outside the Netherlands!

Many students are members of their study association alongside another type of association (sports, cultural, or a general student association).
