Student Associations of Ancient Civilizations
Student associations are the base organisations of the skuba (university student body) and are comprised of all students of a subject. They are your go-to point of contact to meet other students, exchange experiences, ask subject-specific questions, get valuable tips or to just hang out. They organize student events and represent your interests in the department and the faculty.
