What does Stress do?

Stress is the study association for Business Administration (BA), International Business Administration (IBA) and Industrial Engineering and Management (IEM) of the University of Twente. The association was founded on May 21st, 1974. With over 2100 members it is the largest (study) association at the UT. We organize various activities and events to support, expand and complement all of our studies and the career development of our members. Everything is included from study evenings and trips abroad to cooperations with companies, parties, and excursions.
