Introduction week

The introduction week aims at making students acquainted with IOB, the University of Antwerp and student life. We offer a series of information sessions on academics and administrative requirements; among others:

  • Structure of the Master programmes
  • Residence permit
  • Library and sports facilities
  • Mobility window
  • Introduction to Theories of development, Research methods I and Research methods II
  • Quality control in education
  • Basic Dutch

In addition, students will be required to sit for the pre-tests and an English language test during the introduction week. Detailed information about the required academic knowledge is available here.

The programme of the introduction week will be available during the first week of September.
