International Student Welcome Day – Get to know other international students

The Welcome Day offers new international students at UM the chance to meet their fellow international students and university staff. It is part of the Support for international students UM has to offer. 

Date and time: the Welcome Day will take place right before the start of your academic year, on Sunday August 24th.

The tentative times are 10:00h – 18:00h. The definite times will be sent to the registered students closer to the date of the event.

Important: this is not an obligatory event nor part of the INKOM or ISAP events.

Programme: the event starts with a warm welcome by our International Student Desk teamstaff, followed by a presentation on behalf of mymaastricht.nl  (THE guide for every international student new to Maastricht) as well as the UM Career Centre, informing you about all important matters when moving to Maastricht and services we offer useful for all new students. You can ask any practical question that may come up when moving to a new city. We will proceed with a lunch buffet and the opportunity to get to know each other. We have a number of activities for you partnering with the UM Wellbeing Movement as well as UM Sport. You can find the tentative outline of the day on our website.

Location: the event will take place at one of the most unique locations in Maastricht: Ipanema inside the Bonnefanten Museum.

Fee: there is a registration fee of €17*, which will cover lunch, late afternoon bites, drinks, and all activities.
*non-refundable fee, please make sure you are able to attend before you register
