Student associations are part and parcel of university life. BUas has several associations. See which ones and find one to your liking.

Student associations

BUas has several associations and clubs. They organise parties, sports and game activities, excursions and other events. Fun to join in, even more fun to help out. For example, on the board, as one of the web editors, or in a committee that organises activities. Looks great on your CV!
