If you’re new in Delft, you might be a little bit overwhelmed by all the different groups and events that you can join. Here’s an overview to help you find your way around Studium Generale and the groups we sponsor, because we too have a lot to choose from. All of it will drastically enrich your life, but we understand if you can’t make it to everything. Choose wisely 😛
Many of our events take place in the TU Delft Library (in the main hall or in the Nook) and in Theater de Veste, downtown.
Note: the events listed below are some of our recurring events. But we also dedicate each academic quarter to a different theme, with additional events like workshops, exhibitions, lunch lectures, and so on. Find out how to follow us at the bottom of this page.
RUN BY STUDENTS – POWERED BY STUDIUM GENERALE
💬🤓 VOX Delft: run by students and PhD’s, we host small weekly discussion groups in the Library on a wide range of topics in society, politics, philosophy. There are no dumb questions. No perspectives that can’t be entertained, at least as a thought experiment. And there’s no membership either; you just join on the nights that interest you.
