International Student Welcome Day
Are you a new international student at Maastricht University (UM)? Then you don't want to miss the International Student Welcome Day on 31 August 2025. Meet your fellow international students and staff from the Student Services Centre in a fun and welcoming atmosphere.
Get to know your fellow international students
The Welcome Day kicks off with an introduction from our staff, followed by presentations on the things you need to know about settling into Maastricht and the support services we offer to new students. Throughout the day, you will have plenty of opportunities to meet and connect with your fellow international students.
Register for the International Student Welcome Day
For new students starting in September 2025, registration for the International Student Welcome Day will begin in June. You’ll be able to register via this page, so be sure to revisit it then!
You’re not required to attend the International Student Welcome Day, but you’ll be missing out if you don’t. Please note, this event is separate from the INKOM introduction activities.

Are you starting your study programme in February and want to be part of an international student community? You can get a buddy before arriving and participate in activities around the city with other new international students once you get to Maastricht.
