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 the FMF! We are the Physics and (Applied) Mathematics study association, but we’re open to members from across the FSE. We pride ourselves on being a very diverse and accepting, friendly community. Whatever your interest is, there is often someone around who shares it! We have a cozy members’ room where people from all stages of their studies like to grab a coffee between classes, work on homework, or just hang out, and if you have any questions about your courses there’s almost always someone in the room who can help you.

Our annual Symposium is our pride and joy, and along with our magazine, “Periodiek”, helps us broaden our members’ scientific horizons. On the more social end, we enjoy a drink (especially at “kamerborrels” in our members’ room) and we are also known for our board games evenings, LAN-party and our annual Integration Competition, which lets our members show off their math skills in a friendly competition with each other and with some of our favourite professors. Every year we organize a foreign excursion where we visit institutes and universities interesting for both Physics and (Applied) Mathematics students. We also organise study-aiding activities, such as practice and catch-up sessions for your exams.

Last but not least, it’s important to know that the entire association is run by students, for students. All the activities mentioned are organised by our lovely committees. This means that you can also contribute to it. If you want to organise something fun, the FMF can provide you with the means to do it! If you’re interested in this “behind the scenes”, you know where to find us. You can find us and our calendar of activities on our website or see pictures of what we’re up to on our Instagram and Flickr. We are excited to see you in September!
