In full swing at the moment, the introduction offers the cultural societies the opportunity to show off their wares today. On Tuesday the newly-arrived students played sports and had the chance to get acquainted with the sports societies at the UT. Yesterday they got to know Enschede, concluded by a concert in the centre of town, and a party in the student building the Pakkerij. Tomorrow an introduction to Hengelo is scheduled, concluded by a visit to a night club. In addition, the international students are given tours of the different buildings on campus, e.g., the library and the Vrijhof.
Their introduction also includes Dutch lessons and a workshop to get to know more about Dutch society and its customs, foods and peculiarities, and practical matters like opening a bank account and signing rental contracts.
Next week the master's students from behavioural sciences are done as they started a week before the rest did. The others, from educational programmes ranging from electrical engineering and computer science to public administration and chemical engineering will, amongst others, play their own cross-cultural game on Wednesday and enjoy the closing party in the evening.
