Your Purple introductionweek
Your studies at Fontys start in September.
Exciting! But first, it's time for a great beginning: the introduction week Purple 2027. During this week, you will get to know your study programme, your fellow students, and your new city.
- The Purple introduction week takes place in the week of 30 August - 3 September 2027*.
*The start day (Monday or Tuesday) and any Friday activities are determined per programme.
Make friends and start well
During Purple, you will meet your classmates and connect with people you will have a brilliant time with. You will find out how your study programme works, explore the campus and the city, and take part in fun activities together. Sharing meals, going out, having a laugh, and making memories. It's all part of it.
Want to know exactly what's happening, where to be, and who to contact if you have questions? You'll find all of that on this page.
Together, we'll make this the best possible start to your studies!
