Course Materials

You're not a student unless you're studying something... and whatever you study, Wina promises to have the course materials available (as long as the professor provides us with them). All of your books and courses that Wina publishes can be found in the "Scientica Cudi" (pronounced See-YEN-ti-ka Q-di) - at the lowest possible prices! Information about the Scientica Cudi can be found at http://cudi.scientica.be.

If you have any questions concerning course materials - what you need, where to get them, ... - please contact cudi@wina.be , we are happy to help!

Activities

Wina organizes many activities throughout the year for its students. These are mainly recreational, but occasionally we plan serious activities as well, where important matters (mostly involving education at the KU Leuven in some way) are discussed. We organize parties, cantus' (traditional Belgian singing event), movie nights, eating activities, culture activities, etc. etc.

You can find a complete calendar of all planned activities at http://www.wina.be/event , on the home page of http://www.wina.be you can find the latest news and announcements - often activities are announced here in the days preceding it. If you are interested, you can always contact preses@wina.be for more information about the activities Wina organizes, including an English list of activities coming up.

Representation

Every year, the students elect student representatives for the next academic year. These electees represent the students in various education councils of the KU Leuven. For example, there is a POC (Permanente Onderwijs Commissie; Permanent Education Commission) for every diploma you can study - eg. the Bachelor and Master in Physics have the POC Physics, where all important decisions are made concerning that field of study, such as which subjects should be on the program.

In almost every council (including the POCs), there are student representatives. Their task is to defend the interests of the students, and work together constructively together with the professors, assistants, and other academic personnel, to guard and improve the high quality of education here at the KU Leuven.

If you are interested in becoming a student representative, please contact preses@wina.be for more information.

Other

This is but a short page to introduce you, the international student, to Wina. There is still much more to tell, and, if you are interested, we would be excited to tell you more! If you want more information on anything to do with your studying here at the KU Leuven, you are always welcome to e-mail us at preses@wina.be or info@wina.be with questions or comments. If we can not help you or answer your questions, we will be happy to guide you to someone who can.

Every year, after the Easter vacation (around April), Wina organizes elections to elect the new student council members and student representatives for the following academic year. If you are interested in taking part in the exciting experience of organizing activities, or student representation, don't hesistate to contact us (preses@wina.be)!
