Civitas, the student council of the Institute of Social Sciences (hereafter ÜTI), is a body representing ÜTI students and coordinating student life at ÜTI. Students from different fields of study come together at Civitas, such as political science, sociology, law, social protection and international relations and future studies.

The aim of Civitas is to represent the interests of the students of its institute, to help them and to organize and develop their daily school and student life. Civitas stands for the rights of the institute’s students, but also organizes educational and social activities. Civitas organizes traditional events: get-to-know-you evening, town game, christening of foxes, Christmas party, parliamentary simulation and ÜTI spring days. In addition to these, many other exciting events take place throughout the year.
