Being part of a student association is a great way to expand your university experience. It gives you the chance to grow as a person, develop new skills, and make lifelong friends. If you are looking for a fun way to spend your time, joining an association is one of the best decisions you can make during your time at university.
Here are a few Student Associations at UPMS
ANSA stands for the Association of Norwegian Students Abroad. It is an organization made for and by Norwegian students. There are 8 students on the board. They arrange different social events and give information and support to the students. ANSA's motto is that you never travel alone. The Association can provide important tips and support for students far away from home. We recommend every Norwegian student to become a member of ANSA, as it gives social and economic advantages for events and additional offers and support.

The organization helps students adapt to life in Hungary, provides academic and social support, and promotes Korean culture through various events, workshops, and collaborative activities with other international groups. Potekoreans play a vital role in fostering a multicultural environment at the University of Pécs Medical School, enriching both the local and international student experiences.

The African Caribbean Society Pécs (ACS) is an organization that centers the students of the diaspora in its mission and vision. We aim to ensure Africans, Caribbeans and students of the greater Pécs community have a voice, safe space and a home in Pécs - a city so far from home. With their focus on University of Pécs students, they strive to create academic, social and emotional support to all students from the various faculties in Pécs. ACS is also a non-profit organisation, which stands to give back and offer assistance and solidarity to the greater Pécs society and communities from our home countries. This is done via charitable drives which focus on providing quality clothes, food, basic life needs and education to students as well as professors on Diaspora matters. They are open to all students and hope to see you all at their events, curated to motivate your spirit, educate your mind and entertain your soul.
