Faculty of Social Science

On Thursday 17 September 2026, as part of the welcome week for international students, a Faculty Day will be organised for the students of our English-language programmes: Bachelor Social-Economic Sciences and Master Political Science

It is always nice to meet new people, especially if you are an international student and you probably don't know anyone here yet! During the Faculty Day you will meet other international and Belgian fellow students from your programme in an informal setting. This way you will get to meet new friends with whom you can start the academic year together!

  • We would like to invite the students of the Master Political Science on Thursday 17 September 2026 from 1 to 3 pm. We will start with a welcome activity, followed by a walk past important places on the Stadscampus (City Campus). You will also each receive a drink voucher that you can use in the Agora Cafee, so you and the other students can end the Faculty Day together enjoying a drink.
  • The Faculty Day for students of the Bachelor Social-Economic Sciences takes place on Thursday 17 September 2026 from 3 to 5 pm. We will start with a welcome activity: a card-based escape game, played in small groups. After that, you will each receive a drink voucher that you can use in the Agora Caffee, so you and the other students can end the afternoon together enjoying a drink.
