For a strong community : Study together, celebrate together!

The student body regularly organizes unforgettable events, from our legendary Ludo weekend trips with workshops, music and cooked meals to our big summer and winter parties where the entire institute comes together. We also organize cosy picnics, games evenings and alumni weekends where you can benefit from the experiences of former students and make valuable contacts. We promote cohesion and a lively community in which everyone feels comfortable and has fun!

We voice your concerns : Student advocacy

The student body and council is your first point of contact between students, the IKW and the university administration. We represent your interests in committees and meetings of the institute and promote communication between students and teaching staff. Through regular exchange with the institute management, we advocate for your needs, for example in current projects such as the new study regulations. We are also there for you if there are conflicts among students or between students and lecturers. We are your mouthpiece and your opportunity to bring problems to the lecturers anonymously.

Coxi Support: Navigating Your Studies : Resources & Services

The student body actively supports you in your studies - from orientation for first semester students to finding the right contact person if you need help. We manage the "Coxi Library" with scripts and old exams and interesting books to borrow. It thrives on the active contribution of materials and books by you! Every year we also organize cool merchandise such as T-shirts and free stickers in great CogSci designs. We also run the annual logo competition for our new Coxis. We also support your initiatives by providing equipment and financial support for student projects and events, such as our popular Trivia Night. Just ask us if you have an idea and we will try to help you realize it.
