Orientation and arrival covers all the practical and social steps that help you feel at home in Rotterdam and at the university.
Next to your faculty’s own introduction activities, the official Eurekaweek (EUR’s introduction week) and ESN's Introduction Days, the International Office offers a wide range of orientation and arrival support: practical information, webinars, workshops and an even an official International Welcome Day for all new international students.
