At the faculty and in the dormitory
Units of Students' Union are at every faculty and in every dormitory. Students' Union Faculty Council (WRS) is a representative of the students' society before the authorities of the faculty. Members of each WRS take care of the integration of students, they organise balls for students of the first and third year, camps and many other events. They offer you a helping hand in case of some problems with your studies, teachers or adaptation.
There is a person in every WRS that is responsible for foreigners at particular faculty. If you have any problems, find office of WRS at your faculty and ask for contact to this person - you can ask her help if you need it.
In dormitories there are Councils of Residents (RM) that are students' representatives before dormitories' administration. Members of RM make sure that dormitories are safe and peaceful; take care of laundries, gyms, ballrooms and other facilities for students. These are the people that help in case of any problems with other residents of dormitories or with the administration.
Students' organisations
Students' organisations take part in cultural, sports and tourist activity. Thanks to them, studying at WUT is not only going to lectures and learning. People who work in such organisations organise disco, parties, going to theatre, sport competitions, sailing or skiing camps and many other events. Sometimes they arrange courses or training periods for students. At the polytechnic there are a dozen or so organisations, most of them at the university level. There are also associations that are active at particular faculties. Scientific associations
Scientific associations
Scientific associations represent students' scientific activity. Members of such organisations are people who want to explore particular field of science. It doesn't have to be domain that they study. Scientific associations organise conferences, case studies and, what's most important, they realise nationwide and worldwide scientific projects. For example: they construct gliders, robots, and satellites. Moreover, at Warsaw University of Technology there are scientific organisations concentrated on economical issues.
You can find more information about students' activity in the brochure abort students' organisations and scientific associations that is published by Students' Union every year.
