Orientation Days
To help you get settled during your first few days in Leuven and to learn more about Belgium, we have designed a special orientation programme with trips, tips, information and lots of opportunities to meet your fellow students.
The Orientation Days take place at the beginning of each semester; in September & February. Participation is free, except for trips, meals and drinks. Please register online and choise one of the 3 possible Orientation Days sessions.
As a new student or scholar at K.U.Leuven, you will be faced with a multitude of changes, decisions, and adjustments. To help you find your way around the university, Leuven and Belgium, you can request a personal buddy, a Belgian student who can answer all your practical questions and introduce you to Belgian habits and customs.
For more information contact the International Office.
Every term, the International Office organises Orientation Days to help new international students to get acquainted with Leuven and the university. This video shows a report on the orientation days last September.
To watch this video, you must have Quicktime.
