About Sirius
Sirius is the study association for students of Management, Society & Technology, Public Governance across Borders, and Health Sciences, both bachelor and master. Founded on January 26, 1977, we are built on three pillars: Education, Personal Development, and Fun.
Under Education, we sell study books at a discount for members and are your first point of contact for any study-related questions or problems. Need help preparing for an exam, or stuck on a course? We'll help you find a solution. We also maintain an exam database with summaries written by our members.
The Deepening aspect of Sirius encompasses a diverse range of activities, such as career days, excursions, and study tours. Noteworthy events include symposiums for all three studies, election debates, and lectures by prominent figures like former Minister-President Dries van Agt. Adhering to the principle of "by the members, for the members" these activities, along with single- and multi-day excursions to cities like The Hague, Brussels, Copenhagen, and Berlin are organised by committees consisting of our members.
And, of course, there's Fun! To ensure an enjoyable student experience, Sirius organizes a variety of social activities. Monthly drinks in the city centre of Enschede provide an opportunity to connect with peers, and every Thursday from 15:30, you can grab a beer with friends at our shared bar, the Technobar. Our social calendar includes parties, trips to places like the Grolsch brewery, bowling nights, visits to Christmas markets, cooking workshops, and introductory events for new studies. Each year, we express our gratitude to active members with a weekend getaway as a token of appreciation for their contributions to the association.
In conclusion, Sirius offers something for everyone seeking a fulfilling student life in Enschede. For more information, feel free to reach out to the board, usually available in the Sirius Room at the TechMed Centre (TL1300).
