Introduction days at FPN 2025

The Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience (FPN) is organising an essential, informative, and fun week that'll prepare you and your fellow students for your academic career at FPN. From 25-29 August you’ll engage in activities that'll inform you on practical aspects of studying at our faculty. You’ll also get the chance to meet your new classmates while you learn to work with the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) system. 

Programmes

All programmes are available via the Aanmelder link you received and used for signing up for the Introduction Days.

Prepare for Problem-Based Learning

A unique feature of our educational approach is Problem-Based Learning (PBL). At FPN, you’re not just sitting in lectures. From day one, you’ll work actively with your fellow students on real-world issues. 

To help you prepare for PBL and better understand your role in this learning environment, we recommend following our step-by-step PBL introduction module on Canvas. (Log in with your UM student account.) For the best experience, we suggest using a device with a larger screen than a standard smartphone.

Meet MFA Placebo

Our aim is to bring psychology students together by organising a range of activities; including workshops, lectures, parties, city-trips and excursions. We achieve this with the help of our active members, who work together in committees throughout the year.
