W.I.S.V. ‘Christiaan Huygens’

W.I.S.V. ‘Christiaan Huygens’ (CH) is the study association for students of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science at the Delft University of Technology. Study associations are run for and by students.

The aims of CH are as follows:

• realising study-related aims of students of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science at the Delft University of Technology;
• creating a bond between these students;
• creating a bond between the students and the alumni of these studies.

CH achieves its aims relating to study by selling study books and maintaining an archive of old exams. CH also evaluates education and tries to solve education-related problems. Furthermore, CH organises activities which broaden the students’ field of study, such as lectures, excursions or symposia.

Students do more than just study and this is why CH organises non study-related activities such as lunches, social drinks and parties.

After graduating many students wish to stay in touch with their classmates. This is why CH has a committee for alumni called ‘Constantijn Huygens’ (CoH). CoH organises activities for alumni, such as reunions, special lectures or symposia.

Evaluating education

There are committees of all years of all studies which evaluate education. Here, students evaluate the contents of the courses, the lectures that are given or the practicals that have to be followed. If there are any problems, the committees try to solve these by working together with the lecturers and the commissioners of education of the CH board. More information on evaluation committees

Information new first year bachelor and master students

As the study association of your studies we are here to help you out during these ‘new’ times. For first year bachelor students, you can attend our Freshmenn Weekend in the summer, more information on this can be found on eerstejaarsweekend.nl.

If you become a member of our association, you get some awesome perks, such as:

• Buying books at a discount.
  Our association sells all of the study books you need for a discounted price!
• Fun activities.
  As a member of CH you can join all the fun activities we organize, such as parties, study trips or ski trips.
• Getting to know career opportunities.
  We organize career events where you can get to know companies and how your skills could be applied there. For example: we organize lunch lectures (where you can get free lunch!) where a company tells about cool project they are working on.
• Joining committees.
  We could not organize our more than 100 activities a year without the help of committee members. A committee is a group of students that organizes an activity together. Examples are: the SjaarCie, which organizes a party and a barbecue, the AnnuCie, which designs our yearbook from start to finish and The iCom, which organizes a study trip of a week to a European city.
