Introduction Days

In your first days in Gothenburg, there will be lots to do and absorb. But you don't have to be nervous; we have a great onboarding programme for all our international students.

Welcome Programme

The International Student Welcome Programme is held at the beginning of each semester. This program of events and activities provides international students with practical information about the University, Swedish culture, and the city of Gothenburg. It is also a perfect opportunity to meet other international students from all over the world.

Some parts of the program are completely digital, allowing you to participate even before arriving in Gothenburg.

Welcome Programme 2025
