Program
What does the week look like?
The Purple introduction week consists of various components. You start 'small' on the program days. These take place on Monday and/or Tuesday, depending on the institute and the program you will be studying. On these day(s), you will get to know your fellow students, the teachers, and the study program. Each program does its best to give you the warmest possible welcome. The organization of these day(s) is determined by the introduction committee of the study. On Tuesday morning the local study and student organisations will be represented on the campsite to welcome new students.
