Dear (prospective) master student,
First of all, we would like to welcome you! Since you are probably going to be a student at the Faculty of Spatial Sciences, Ibn Battuta can be a great addition to your time in Groningen. In this section, we will show you what Ibn Battuta is, does, and offers you!
Ibn Battuta is the Faculty Association of Spatial Sciences. All students at our Faculty can become a member and enjoy the different activities that Ibn Battuta organizes. With around 80% of all students at our Faculty being a member of Ibn Battuta, it is a great platform for members to get to know their fellow students and connect!
What does Ibn Battuta do?
Firstly, the Association organizes a wide array of activities. These are activities that are career-focused and help you in orienting on your future! Activities like the Career Day, In-House Days, and lectures help you in exploring your options, getting to know the kinds of companies in the field, creating the chance to network with them.
In addition, we organize social activities, such as social drinks, parties, sports events, and a fair share of (foreign) trips. These activities are great to come in contact with other students and a fun way to do so!
Becoming a member of Ibn Battuta means you can join the social drinks, foreign trips, lectures, and all other activities the Association organizes. At these events, you come into contact with students from all years, which is a great way to make friends that can last a lifetime!
Next to the social aspect becoming a member of the Association can be very helpful in your studies. Buying study books through Ibn Battuta gives you a discount. Members have access to summaries and old exams for courses at our Faculty. Furthermore, vacancies for jobs or internships are shared with our members.
Where can you sign up?
You can sign up here! A yearlong membership costs just €18,-. For additional information, you can check out different pages on this website!
