FHML Bachelor 's Introduction - 2017

If you start your studies at the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences, you will be invited to participate in the student orientation program in August/September. The program consists of a general orientation week (INKOM ) followed by an introduction to the faculty.

As a new student in a strange city, you will encounter a lot of unfamiliar information. How do things work at this university, where is the library, what is the city of Maastricht like and who are my fellow-students? These are just a few of the things you will have to cope with. The Faculty Introduction is intended to give you a better idea of the various aspects of studying at Maastricht University.

The Faculty Introduction is compulsory for all students.

The programme will end with an informal dinner with foodtrucks and music. Staff members will also be present and there will be plenty of time to talk to everyone in an informal atmosphere.
