Experience a great start to your study by meeting new friends, seeing the city of Utrecht, and getting to know Utrecht University. Besides that, you will have the opportunity to get in touch with companies that are eager to meet you. If you are enrolled in either Marine Sciences (MRS), Earth Life & Climate (ELC), Earth Surface & Water (ESW) or Earth Structure & Dynamics (ESD) you are welcome to participate in the introduction period. The events will take place in the first week of the academic year (2nd of September 2024). Every activity is planned around the university’s schedule, so don’t worry about having to skip lectures! You will receive the program and more information from the university. The U.A.V. organises the social activities and the symposium during the introduction week. Below you can find our schedule.
