Your introduction week

First day of a week full of fun for all new international Engineering students. You will start at 10.00 hrs with a Meet & Greet at Nexus building (De Rondom 1, Eindhoven). We will kick things off by forming introduction groups (families) through a fun round of speed dating with other students. After lunch there will be games in Nexus building and you can let your diploma checked at the Student Administration Office, so do not forget to take your diploma (hard copy) today!

We will wrap up the day with a short tour of Eindhoven and a relaxed dinner, followed by a pub crawl in the city centre. The party ends at 22 hrs, giving you plenty of time to travel back home.

Rise and shine! Another exciting day awaits, but we’re starting early – be at Nexus by 09:00 sharp. We are heading out for a climbing course and some epic laser tag. In the evening, we’ll fire up the BBQ, followed by Music Bingo and karaoke to round off the day in style (latest 22 hrs)!

Ready, set, go – in your sports clothes, of course! Begin the day exploring a variety of sports and student clubs at the Student Sports Centre Eindhoven! In the afternoon head to the Vibes Student Festival in the city centre, where music, fun, and student life come together for students from all educational institutions in Eindhoven.

Expect epic Music Bingo, food trucks, chill zones, and live DJs, including Eindhoven's very own DJ La Fuente. It's the perfect way to experience the energy and creativity of Eindhoven with fellow students!

There is no official programme today, but it is a great chance to meet up with your intro family or new friends to to finish off the introduction week together. Or simple take it at easy at home and get ready for the official start of your studies on 1 September.

We hope you had a great time and made lots of new friends. Good luck with your studies - see you soon at Fontys!
