Student for a Day
Join our Student for a Day event and experience how it is to study at the Faculty of Science and Engineering (FSE).
What is a Student for a Day?
During a Student for a Day, our students organise a special programme:
-
Chat with current students and lecturers
-
Ask all your questions about the programme
-
Discover if the programme is the right fit for you
Please note: It's not always possible to attend an actual lecture, seminar or lab practical; in these cases we will organize something specifically for this day.
For whom is the Student for a Day?
Final-year high school students (VWO 5/6 or the international equivalent) who are seriously considering one of our Bachelor's programmes.
