• You will be automatically registered for your courses for the first period only. After this you have to arrange the course registration yourself.
• Your course schedule will be available four weeks before your courses begin. Also see the academic calendar.
• Study materials -such as books and readers- can be ordered online.
• You will need to use your own laptop for computer practicals during your studies. You can also use it for other classes. There are specifications that your laptop needs to meet.

• Students must apply for the introduction week through Helix. 

All practical matters will be addressed during the first week of your programme.

As an international student there are certain things you have to arrange when coming to Utrecht University, such as finding accommodation, paying your fee(s) and other practical matters. To help you on your way we have a special ‘Welcome to Utrecht’- webpage with:

• a checklist of things to do before and upon arrival.
• an orientation programme for international students.

Make sure to come to the general orientation for international students of Utrecht University. Don’t forget to sign up on our special ‘Welcome to Utrecht’-webpage.

It is also possible to participate in the Utrecht Introduction Time (UIT) week. It is a general city introduction open to anyone who is going to study in Utrecht. Here you can meet students of Utrecht University (UU), University of Applied Sciences Utrecht (HU), University of the Arts Utrecht (HKU) and University of Humanistic Studies (UvH) among others. But also get to know all the student organisations that Utrecht has and of course the city itself.
