Ibn Battuta is proud to be a Faculty Association with many active members, who are part of a committee or projectgroup. A committee is a group of members who organize activities together. Apart from the opportunity to organize fun and interesting activities, committees are also a great opportunity to meet new people and make friends. As a committee member, you have regular meetings together with your committee. Committee meetings often start by having dinner together, after which the meeting can begin. After the serious part is done, it is time for some games, fun talks and a drink. Of course you can also get together any time to do something fun together outside of the regular meetings. Overall, committees offer a great balance between learning new skills, making new friends, and organizing memorable activities.
There are many different sorts of committees within Ibn Battuta. You can choose to apply for a committee focussed on social activities and parties, such as the First Year Committee, Sports and Games Committee, and Zwemfest. Other committees such as the Foreign Excursion Committee and Wintersport Committee organize a long foreign trip. There are also committees that offer more study- and career-related activities, like the Career Day Committee, Lecture Committee, and the Master Network FSS. To see all of the committees that the Association offers, take a look at the subheaders under this page!
When applying for a committee, you will be asked to schedule a small interview. After you have been accepted by the Board, you will be part of the committee for one year. Committees often consist of around seven members, but the exact number differs per committee. A Board member will also take place in each committee to keep an overview and provide assistance where needed.
There are multiple application rounds for committees each year. The applications open for a few committees per round. The application rounds open in September, January and May. The openings will be announced through multiple channels, so all enthusiastic members will know when it is time to apply! Keep an eye on the website and our Instagram account. You can apply through the website, as well as during the Committee Market on campus, during which you can come by to ask questions about all of the open committees.
