Twice a year, Avans University of Applied Sciences organises an International Kick-Off introduction programme for new international students who have been officially accepted to an English-taught study programme at Avans. This International Kick-Off provides you with lots of useful information that you may need as a new international student in the Netherlands and at Avans.
For the upcoming semester, starting in August 2025, the International Kick-Off days will take place on August 26th 2025 and August 27th 2025 in the week before the start of the semester. All students who have been formally admitted to Avans will receive more information and an invitation to register for the International Kick-Off in their email linked to the application at Avans in the beginning of August 2025. Don’t forget to also check your spam folder regularly.
Please note that the International Kick-Off is compulsory.
Programme
Once you have been accepted to a study programme, you will receive an invitation email from the International Office, in the beginning of August 2025. This email includes a detailed overview of the International Kick-Off programme. The 25th of August is our advised arrival day, on the 26th of August there will be a (physical) informative programme and on the 27th of August there will be a (physical) social programme.
If you have been guaranteed accommodation through Avans, you will sign your lease and are able to receive your keys during the International Kick-Off introduction days.
