Introduction days

On 15, 17 and 18 September 2026, we will organise introductory moments on the campuses, especially for new students.

You will meet fellow students, counsellors, lecturers, etc for the first time. You will also receive practical information to help you get to your first classes: about course and handbook sales, timetables, practicals, group organisation, exercise sessions...

Check your introductory moment for the study programme you are enrolled in.
