We hereby invite you to the introduction week 2024; a week full of fun activities to get to know each other and the city of Enschede. This year, introduction week will start on Saturday 24th of August until the 1st of September. The introduction is organised by different parties:
- Saxion Introduction Week
- Physiotherapy Student Union Tabula Rasa
You are free to join all activities that are offered during the first introduction week. Please bear in mind that costs for participation are involved.
From the 26th of August until the 30th of August, the Saxion Introduction Week will take place! This is a week full of fun activities to get acquainted with your fellow students, the city, Saxion and the programme. During this week you will take part in the introduction to the programme (obligatory part). You get to know the study association Tabula Rasa and the teachers of the programme. Of course, you will also meet your class and get a tour of the building.
From Saxion you will receive information about all activities during the Intro. For the programme Physical Therapy, we would like to see you on Tuesday 27 August for the programme introduction.
On Wednesday 28 August, you will get to know the programme and teachers with a fox hunt (that's a game) through the city.
From Saturday 24 August to Monday 26 August, preceding the Saxion Introduction Week, the study association Tabula Rasa organises an introduction camp in Enschede. The programme promises to provide you with exciting days. During this camp, you will get to know your fellow students and teachers. You will also already be assigned to the group you will study with, which means you will soon get to know each other.
This camp is not a hazing camp and all activities are completely voluntary. Through the website under the heading introduction, you can find information about this camp and register. This can be done until 20 August through the website: www.svtabularasa.nl
Should you have any further questions, please feel free to send Tabula Rasa an e-mail at intro@svtabularasa.nl.
We recommend that you become a member of the Tabula Rasa study association. Not only for fun, but also for their active role in excursions and other additional activities that are important for your education. The study association is for students of the Dutch Physiotherapy programme, the International Physiotherapy program and the Podiatry programme.
