Orientation Days
The orientation days for exchange students take place at the beginning of each semester. During these days we make sure that you get all the necessary information about being a student at HVL.
The official semester start of the spring semester of 2025 is January 6th.
There will be two orientation events. The first was a digital orientation meeting on Zoom on the 18th of December. The second will be the physical orientation on the campus you are going to. See the programme for your campus below.
Here is a recording of the digital orientation:
