  • Study Associations of the Humanities

    So why would you join a study association? First and foremost, it’s the best choice to enrichen your time as a student. In an association you will combine activities regarding your discipline with conviviality. You’ll get to know your fellow students intensively, and be part of the community, while always being able to meet people at their social rooms. You can also participate in many events like parties, excursions, and guest lecturers. There are also many practical benefits to being a member, like discounts on all your study books.
