Student Associations (Clubs)

Maltepe University Students Council is serving as a bridge by providing communication between the university management and the students. It ensures students' participation in the decisions made by the management. The election of this council is held democratically in accordance with the Students Council Election Regulations. The chief and the members of the council attend the meetings of Board of Trustees and the Senate and share the opinions and the suggestions of the students with the management.
