Physiotherapy introduction programme
Get ready for an unforgettable start to your student journey! From Saturday, August 23rd to Monday, September 1st, we’re kicking off the new academic year with a week packed full of exciting activities designed to help you connect with fellow students and discover the vibrant city of Enschede. The introduction week is organized by different parties.
Check out all the details here.
On Tuesday 26 August 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 in the building.
On Wednesday 27 August, you will get to know the programme and lecturers in the afternoon, as various activities will be organised by the Tabula Rasa student association in collaboration with the programme in the Volkspark.
From Saturday, August 23 to Monday, August 25, just before the INTRO week, the study association Tabula Rasa is organizing an introduction camp in Enschede. The program promises a few exciting and engaging days. During the camp, you will get to know your fellow students and lecturers. You will also be assigned to the study group you’ll be working with, giving you the chance to connect with your peers right away.
This is not a hazing camp, and all activities are completely voluntary. You can find more information and register for the camp on the website of Tabula Rasa under the “Introduction” section. Registration is open until August 20.
If you have any further questions, feel free to send us an email via [email protected].
We also recommend becoming a member of the study association Tabula Rasa—not only because it’s fun, but also because of its active role in organizing excursions and other extracurricular activities that are valuable to your education. The study association is open to students of the Dutch Physiotherapy programme, the International Physiotherapy programme, and the Podiatry programme.
