Your introduction week

The new academic year starts in September ... but before your studies start, you'll first take part in the introduction week. That's Purple 2023! During the introduction week getting to know each other is key.

Get to know your study programme and make friends for life

You get to know your fellow students and meet new people from around the world. You will be introduced to your study programme, the university, and the city of Eindhoven.

What that will look like, what you need, where you need to be, who you can contact, you can find all that information here!

Programme

Below you can see all the activities in which you will participate:

After a breakfast and night at the campsite, you will get to know the city during the city day. You will conclude with a BBQ and pub crawl.

During the Purple Festival in the Leijpark you will meet all the students of Fontys Hogescholen, dance to the coolest music and most of all have fun!
