Curious who will be your classmates?

Since we wish you the best experience at the Utrecht University, it is important that you get to know your classmates and other (international) students. Therefore we suggest you to check the app called: Goin’ (find internationals!). This app, developed by students for students, allows you to get in contact with other students based on your hobbies, interests, your study and more before even being in Utrecht!

You can download the app down here:

Team up with a Dutch buddy

We know that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, your international experience and education will look and feel very different next semester (and perhaps beyond). To make sure that you feel sufficiently supported within our faculty, we are therefore offering a customized Academic Buddy programme this year, where you will be matched with a buddy from Utrecht University who is planning to study in your home town or country in the future. To take part in this scheme, you should sign up for the Academic Buddy programme. See www.uu.nl/academic-buddy

Online videos of the first lectures of Introduction to Economics and Business Economics and Introduction to Finance and Accounting will be published before the Orientation week starts. 

Due to the ongoing Covid situation the orientation activities are subject to change. Please read about the latest measures and developments on Information Coronavirus.
