Program
What does the week look like?
The Fontys Purple introduction week consists of various components. You probably start 'on a smaller scale' during the program-specific days, which take place on Monday and/or Tuesday and/or Friday, depending on the institute and program you are enrolling in. On these days, you will get to know your fellow students, teachers, and the program itself. Each program strives to give you the warmest possible welcome. The structure of these days is determined by the program's introduction committee.

In the morning till early afternoon, you can explore various sports and local (student) sports clubs through the Student Sports Centre Eindhoven or Tilburg University Sports Center. In the late afternoon, you can join the Vibes Festival (Eindhoven), the Intro Festival (Tilburg), or one of the city programmes in Venlo, Den Bosch, or Sittard. These activities are organized by the municipalities and/or local hospitality venues in collaboration with Fontys.
In Eindhoven, all educational institutions (mbo, hbo, wo) are invited, including Summa, Sint Lucas, De Rooi Pannen, and TU/e. The same applies to Tilburg, but for educational institutions Yonder, de Rooi Pannen and Tilburg University.
We wrap up the introduction week with a bang! On Thursday, August 28th, from 1:00 PM to 10:00 PM, the Purple Festival will take place in Leijpark, Tilburg, bringing together the entire Fontys community. Participants from all cities and all introduction programs will come together at the Purple Festival to enjoy a full day of artists and activities spread across various stages. It's the perfect way to end the introduction week in style with a party that you and your new friends, classmates, and teachers will be talking about for a long time.
The return journey is provided by buses. If you already live in Tilburg or the surrounding area, you can of course just cycle to the Purple Festival!
Get your festival ticket!
A ticket is included for the entire introduction week. So you do NOT have to buy a separate festival ticket if you participate in the introduction week as a first-year student (intro-participant) or supervisor (intro-parent).
