Student Groups
A large number of students are actively involved in independent groups which enhance the social life of students, enabling them to make new friends, try out new pastimes and enjoy themselves in a creative way, while studying at TUC. Students are encouraged to participate in and to promote all artistic and creative initiatives developed within the university. Over the years, these groups have managed to become an integral part of the city’s social and cultural life.
There are several creative student groups that are involved in music, theatre, photography, dancing, sailing and other recreational activities.
