In the campus, you will find a wide range of facilities for a rich and varied social
and scientific life. Students organizations take part in cultural, sport and tourist activities of the University. Thanks to them, studying at WUT is not only going to lectures and learning. People who work in such organizations organize discotheques, parties, theatre performances, sport competitions, sailing or skiing camps and many other events. Sometimes they arrange courses or training periods for students.
At WUT there are a dozen of such organizations.
There are also associations that are active at particular faculties.
At the Warsaw University of Technology there are almost 100 students' scientific group. The activity of these groups is based on exploring knowledge.
In scientific groups there are people who want to explore a particular field of science.
It doesn’t have to be the domain of their studies. Scientific groups organize conferences, case studies and, what’s the most important, they create nationwide and worldwide scientific
projects.
You can find more information about such activity in the brochure about students organizations and scientific groups that is published by the Students’ Union every year.
Outside our University, you will find other organizations which provide social and cultural activities especially for international students. That is e.g.: the Erasmus Student Network.
The Erasmus Student Network is an international organization which helps and supports foreign students being on Erasmus Exchange and informs local students about the Erasmus exchange program. Among 303 local sections in over 33 countries, there is also an ESN section at the Warsaw University of Technology, called ESN PW.
ESN PW is very young, it was established in January 2007. However, ever since it was created, it have been extremely active and put enormous efforts to make your stay in Warsaw the best time of your life. It has strong and continuous support of Students' Union and university authorities.

Sport at WUT
All students during the first 3 years of studies at WUT have to attend physical education classes. In the beginning of an academic year there are meetings in the building of the College of Physical Education and Sport (st. Waryńskiego 12A, dormitory Riviera) where students are informed about the rules of passing the classes and sport disciplines available to train. Students can choose volleyball, basketball, swimming, gym, football, table tennis, aerobics, skiing, and many more.
Sometimes the possibility to practice a particular discipline depends on the faculty. Usually
a student passes the classes by presence. Some of them are chargeable.
