This session will take a closer look at the Academic Core courses, which are a mandatory part of your study programme. Depending on your group, you will attend one of the two sessions listed below.

Please arrive at LAB42 15 minutes before the scheduled start time to help ensure that the programme runs on time.

This time slot includes three separate sessions, one for each major: Sciences, Social Sciences and Humanities. During your session, the Head of Studies will introduce you to the most important aspects of your major, including what you’ll study, how to choose your courses and how to plan your academic path. You should attend the session of the major for which you applied. 

During Introduction Week, it’s normal to have practical questions about your study programme and new home. That’s why there will be various office hours throughout the week. On Tuesday, the following representatives will be available:

• AUC Student Association 
• AUC Admissions 
• Registrar 

For housing-related questions, contact DUWO directly.

Location: Reception Desk and Ground Floor, AUC Academic Building 

Full-programme students 

In this session, you’ll meet your tutor, who will be your academic advisor throughout your time at AUC. You’ll also learn more about the tutoring programme and the educational support systems available to you. The session will end with a Q&A. 

You’ll receive the name of your tutor the week before Introduction Week. If you forget your tutor’s name or are unsure of which room you should be in, stop by the reception desk before the session begins. 

Please note that the students in your tutor workshop are not necessarily the same as those in your mentor group.

Locations

The tutor workshops will take place in the AUC Academic Building. You can find the location of your Tutor Workshop according to the surname of your tutor in the list below

After a full day of activities, you’ll have a chance to relax and reflect on the first days of Introduction Week over dinner with your mentor group. Your mentors will organise the dinner and choose the location, so be sure to ask them for the details.

• Location: communicated by your mentors

Join your classmates at a classic Amsterdam bar for an evening hangout. Some of your mentors and AUCSA members will be there too. It's the perfect chance to keep the conversations going and meet even more people in a relaxed setting.
