Societies and associations
Every study has its own student society, which represents student's interests and organises many study related events such as conferences and excursions in The Netherlands and abroad.

About half of all TU Delft students are members of one of the many student associations. Any student can join these societies, regardless to the study for which he or she is registered. The societies mainly have a social character. Their activities vary from organizing parties to constructing a race car or rowing at the Olympic Games.

The student associations and student societies are run by students themselves.
