Student association, activities and student engagement
As a student at Global Development, Crisis and Change, you become part of the line association Pangea.
Line associations are student associations are linked to specific study programmes. They organise both academic and social activities, and gather students who follow the same "line", across cohorts.
You can also take part in a number of student activities that are not connected to your study programme. During your studies, you can get involved in different associations, and in various councils, boards and committees.
We encourage you to explore these possibilities, and use your time as a student to learn and gain experience also outside the curriculum and lectures. Get involved in what happens outside of your studies - you will receive a lot in return.
The student association Pangea is a social and academical platform for all students at the Department of Global Development and Planning. Our members are invited to join us on the Roof Terrace at Bølgen on Thursday 17 August in Fadderuken! Follow us on Facebook for more information.
