Which study programme best fits your interests and plans for the future? What city would you like to live in for at least four years? Which Master programme can you follow after the Bachelor of your choice? And what career opportunities would you have after completing the programme? The Open day on location of the University of Groningen can help you get answers to these questions.  

For whom is the Open day on Location intended?

The Open day on location is meant for prospective students who to a large extent know what kind of study programme they want to do, and who would like to receive more specific information on one or more programmes. The difference with the Open Day in November is that the presentations about these programmes are longer and contain more specified information about the courses. The presentations will take place at various locations. Students will therefore be able to visit a total of four different programmes.

Registration is required

You can register for the Open day through this website from 1 to 30 January 2014.

Time schedule and programme of the Open day

All Bachelor programmes will be presented to the students during the Open day on location. The day is divided into four time periods: 9.30-10.45, 11.30-12.45, 13.45-15.00 and 15.45-17.00. Most programmes will give presentations on their programmes in two or three of these time frames. In addition, a few of the study programmes will present information during two longer sessions from 10.00 to 12.00 and from 14.00 to 16.00.

Provided that there is enough space, all information events will take place in the buildings where the programmes are located. You will receive information about the study programme, you can view laboratories, libraries and spaces for practica. You can attend trial lectures and speak to teachers and alumni. And of course, you can meet people to whom you might be sitting next to in class in the future.

Other activities at the Open day

Workshops on study choice

During the Open day it is possible to attend workshops. Who are you, what are your talents, what do you want for yourself? What would your ideal study programme look like? You can discover all this during this workshop! Please note: registration is required.

General information market

During the entire day (between 10:00 and 16:00) you can visit an extensive information market in rooms A5 and A6 of the Academy building (Broerstraat 5). Here you will find stands providing information on housing, study finances, lottery and selection, study guidance, the introduction period, sports, culture and student associations. The information market is freely accessible, so if you have some time in between the sessions, don't hesitate to check it out.
