Kick-off activities
During the Kick-off Activities you will be introduced to the faculty, the degree programme, the study association(s), and most of all, to your fellow students. These activities are labeled as ‘Kick-off Activities’ in the schedule. We strongly encourage you to attend these.
Kick-off Schedule
Your introduction period will start with an introduction day on which you will get to know your fellow students and the programme team. If you already know you will not be able to attend, please email us via bsc.lst rug.nl
For the mentor groups, we will place you in a group with a mentor, who is an older year student of Life Science & Technology. The exact grouping will be published here on the Student Portal (will be updated towards the end of August). You will need to log-in using your student number and password for that.
During the introduction day, we will also show the mentor groupings during the Introduction to the degree programme.

Introduction to the degree programme
Your introduction to the programme Life Science and Technology will be on Friday the 30th of August from 12:00 onwards. You will be expected to be there in person. This introduction will be given by your academic advisor. A lot of important information will be explained to you like the structure of the Life Science & Technology programme, study guidance, the binding study advice, studying with a functional impairment, study delay, etc.
Information Market
The Information Market will be held on Tuesday, 5 September in the main hallway of the Energy Academy. It offers an opportunity for you to get all the information that you may need to start your journey here at the FSE outside the standard information regarding your programme.
The organisations listed below will all be present at the market. There will also be poffertjes and a barista available outside the venue throughout the day!
Escape Room
On Thursday, 7 September 2023, there will be an escape room game organised by Expinc on the Zernike Campus. Limited spots are available. The sign-up will be organised in mentor groups and your mentor will sign your team up.

A great way to get to know your fellow students as soon as possible, is the Introduction camp, organized by the study association of your degree programme.
