In addition to exercise and studying, all students need energy to keep up with the day’s activities. Pharmen offers a pub on Wednesdays where you can enjoy a burger in the company of other students. The Caphé is also open on Mondays providing a cozy break or an extra energy boost during the day. For more information and opening hours, click here and check out our Facebook page.

Sometimes, these study sessions are held in conjunction with the Caphé. For dates and times check our Facebook page.
