1. What is Condus?
Condus is the student organisation of the Faculty of Behavioural Sciences, and unites all the students in the faculty. Every student, including you, is a member of Condus through the student organisation of their major subject. (Exchange students do not need to join a student organisation to take part in Condus events.)
During the academic year Condus organises many big events, such as Freshman Party, Condus Amazing Race, Pre-Christmas Party, Sitsit and Anniversary Party. Condus also follows and reacts to the current issues in our university. One of our main duties is to take care of our students’ rights. Our goal is to make sure that the students’ opinions are heard in the faculties as well as in the University at large.
To find out more, visit our website and sign up for your own organisation’s mailing list – also like Condus on Facebook. Welcome to the Faculty. You are in great company!
