Study Association STORM
Disclaimer: the information below is correct as of December 2022. With things changing all the time, content may differ.
Who are we?
We are the study association for Mathematics, Computer Science, and AI Bachelors and Masters students. As a study association, it is our number one priority to create a fun and friendly community for our fellow students, allowing you to meet with people like you, make new friends and seize opportunities for your future career! Since all the studies we represent are in English, our association is fully international, welcoming students from around the world.
So...why should I join?
We are not only a fun place to be but also a place to find future career opportunities. We have events every single week, alternating between borrels (a social drink) and activities that range from sports activities to playing games. We have 16 committees that organize various things at STORM, so keep your eye out on the events and news happening! Apart from the fun things, we also organize in-house days at companies in Amsterdam, and companies often host talks at STORM! We have a yearly Career Fair, where you can talk to these companies face-to-face as well. You also get to, of course, hang out in our lovely common room called the StoKa, participate in the Discord server and get a discount on your textbooks. All this and more for only €15 for your entire study! And free for master's students!
