In the last week before the official start of the academic year, we are organizing a Welcome Week for international students. This week takes place from Monday 15 September until Friday 19 September 2025. During this week, you will get to know Antwerp, the university and your fellow-students through several formal and informal events. Attendance is highly recommended.

On Wednesday 17 September 2025, as part of the Welcome Week, a Faculty Day will be organized by the Faculty of Arts: an onboarding event designed specifically for the international students of our English-language programmes: the Master of Linguistics and Literature English and the Master of Digital Text Analysis.

During the Faculty Day you will have the opportunity to meet the academic coordinators of your programme and other international students in an informal setting. We will also explore the campus together.
