From September 1 to 5, each day will feature activities designed to help newcomers adapt to the academic environment, discover the university culture, and develop skills that will be valuable both during their studies and in their future careers.
We encourage visitors to choose environmentally friendly modes of transport; however, for convenience, a parking map is also available. Please also note that traffic congestion may occur due to the start of the school and academic year.
