ENG After Hours
At the Faculty of Engineering and Science, students meet outside of class time for ENG After Hours - an event concept of both academic and social nature. At the events, students can both strengthen their own and gain insight into the academic skills of others. In addition, the events are intended to strengthen social life across study areas.
