ESN Introduction Week
The Introduction Week of February 2024 is over! Thank you for an amazing week!
The ESN Introduction Week is the biggest Introduction Week for international and internationally-oriented students in Groningen! It is the best way to kickstart your life in your home away from home. Join in and discover Groningen with over 700 other new students!
The Introduction Week will take place from Friday, February 2nd, to Wednesday, February 7th. Throughout this week, you will be able to discover everything that Groningen and its student life have to offer, while also getting to know many other students! In short, it will be an unforgettable and valuable beginning to your stay in Groningen.
During the Introduction Week, you will be put in a group with students from different countries. Your group will be guided by two Dutch or international Introduction Guides: these are students who have already lived in Groningen for a while. They will lead your group during the entire Introduction Week programme, help you get to know the city, and answer any questions you might have.
