If you would like to get to know the Maastricht student life, you can join the INKOM. The INKOM is the social introduction week for all freshmen of Maastricht University and Hogeschool Zuyd. In four days you will get acquainted with the city that will be your home city for the next few years.

The INKOM is entirely voluntary, and does not replace the MSP introduction period.
