Programme

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

*The schedule for your introduction week can be found at Fresh at Fontys. Click on the city you are going to study and the programme you will follow.. You can also find all the information on Tactile. After registration you will receive a message to create an account, log in and download the app (Purple Introduction Fontys).

In the morning until early afternoon, you will take part in the city tour in your Fontys city. During this, you will follow a combination of routes with the themes: foodies, sporties, creatives, musicians, innovators, and chill.

In the late afternoon, you can join the Vibes Student Festival (Eindhoven), the Square One Festival (Tilburg), or one of the city programmes in Den Bosch, Venlo and Sittard. These activities are organized by the municipalities and/or local hospitality venues in collaboration with Fontys.

We wrap up the introduction week with a bang! On Thursday, August 27th, from 1:00 PM to 10:00 PM, the Purple Festival will take place, bringing together the entire Fontys community. Participants from all Fontys cities and all study programmes 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.

• Music Stage: Demi Maria, Treasure, H4ZEL, Jonna Fraser, FeestDJ Ruud, Power Hour Zany and Nova Blue
• Fontys Talentstage: Haunted Reef, Hillegonda de Jong, Caribbean Community, Mauro Appel and Ilja Therese
• And more to explore like innovation space, chill area, creative garden, food court, sports hub, foodtrucks and drinks

The return journey is provided by buses for intro-parents and intro-kids for all Fontys locations. Students from Tilburg are making their own way to the festival.

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).

Buy a festival ticket as a Fontys student, alumni or other students

All Fontys students, Fontys alumni, and other students are also welcome at the Purple Festival. This includes mbo/hbo/wo students, as well as staff who want to experience a day of Purple. You can add shuttle bus ticket from and to Tilburg CS when you come to the festival by train.
