Mandatory Introduction GSNS

Welcome to your new Master’s programme at the GSNS!

To ensure that you get off to a good start, the Graduate School of Natural Sciences (GSNS) organizes an Introduction Programme for all new graduate students on Monday 6 and Tuesday 7 February 2023. All students who are (conditionally) admitted to one of the GSNS Master's programmes, will receive more information about the introduction programme in January. 

Participation in these two days is mandatory and will grant you 0,5 EC. Please make sure you register when asked to!

Make sure to also read the Welcome Booklet. This booklet contains a lot of practical information for students who are new to Utrecht University. Make sure to check out the Master's Science Starter Guide as well!
