International Student Welcome Day
The International Student Welcome Day offers new international students at Maastricht University (UM) the chance to meet their fellow international students and university staff from the International Student Service Office. It is part of the UM’s welcome package for international students.
The event will be held at Ipanema: a very unique location at one of the must-see places of Maastricht. It is located inside of the Bonnefanten art museum. This way you can already cross this attraction of your list and you have only just arrived!
