BIMM Student Association

At BIMM University Berlin, networking and collaboration are among our greatest strengths. The BSA exists to take this even further.

100% student-led, with support from our Events and Community team, the BIMM Student Association (BSA) exists to enrich and improve the student experience through societies, social events, talks, educational activities, sports teams and more.

Student societies and clubs

Societies are student-led groups who regularly meet to take part in an activity or explore a shared passion or interest on and off-campus.

They are the perfect way to meet like-minded people, try out something new, or develop your skills outside the classroom.

As well as being a great way to network and socialise, being part of a society helps to develop valuable career skills such as leadership, teamwork, budgeting, events management, and much more.

"The BSA is an opportunity to give students a voice and an opportunity to create spaces to express and share their passions. Like societies at traditional unis, our associations cover aspects of student interest, including Vegan, LGBTQ+, Football, Musical Theatre, a particular favourite ‘Bad-BIMM-ton’ and many more! All you need is three people, a logo and to set up regular meetups. There’s also funding available for students to set up their meetings and put on events."
Kashi Chellen, Event Management


Set up your own society

Are we missing something? Is there an interest or community that you think needs representing? This is your chance to set up a society, and here’s how:

  • Step 1: Gather at least 3 like-minded people
  • Step 2: Create a logo
  • Step 3: Get in touch with the BSA team. With their support, you will be able to discuss the society and potentially access funding.

Setting up your own society not only teaches you valuable leadership skills, but adds long-lasting value to your CV.

Student presidents

Each year, a second or third-year student is elected to become Student President.

Being the Student President is a paid role that bridges the gap between BIMM Staff and the student community, putting forward ideas, initiatives and questions on behalf of the students you represent.
