Studenten tijdens de introductieweek op de Tilburgse campus

Study Program Introduction TSHD

The Study Program Introduction is for all new Bachelor's and (Pre-)Master's students, starting their study at the Tilburg School of Humanities and Digital Sciences (TSHD). This introduction will take place in the week before your first lecture week and is a mandatory part of your study program.

Starting end of August

The Study Program Introduction for students that start end of August takes place on Monday August 21 and Tuesday August 22. We find it important that all students start their education sufficiently prepared and therefore participation is expected. You do not need to register for the Study Program Introduction.

All activities of the Study Program Introduction and the TOP Week (that also takes place from Monday August 21 onwards) are attuned to each other.

From mid July onwards a ‘Save the Date’ will be sent to all new students. Early August the exact day schedule and times of the Study Program Introduction for your study program will be known and published on this page. We will inform you via e-mail as well.

The Study Program Introduction consists of:

  • a study information session
  • a campus tour
  • first mentor session (applies to all Bachelor’s program except LAS)
  • start seminar (for some study programs)
  • online information and a Q&A session regarding the Digital Learning Environment (Osiris, MyTimetable, Canvas)
