As newcoming bachelor's student at the VU you can join three types of introductions that differ in duration and content. Here you find an overview of the three variations:
The invitation e-mail for the 2 and 5-day programmes will be sent mid June, so keep an eye on your mail!
- 5-day introduction week: you are going all in
Together with your group of fellow students and two student mentors you will experience the introduction to the fullest. You will get to know each other, the VU-campus and the city Amsterdam very well during both informative and fun activities and excursions. Also, there will be performances and musical evenings and you will end the week with a big closing party!
> The 2-day introduction week and the programme introduction are also part of the 5-day introduction
> When: Wednesday 23rd until Tuesday 29th of August 2023 (weekend excluded)
> Costs: €65,-
