Helping our students settle in
All ImAGEin students shall receive a welcome package at each Partner Institution with the following information:
- ImAGEin Handbook: providing an overview of the Master Programme (e.g., mobility, meaning of the joint degree, etc.) including syllabuses; information on the required internships; practical information (e.g., regarding fees, visa, accommodation, email set up, student/ staff ID cards), contact information for various services (e.g., imAGEin Coordination Office), an overview of all lectures, contact information on lecturers and researchers, etc.
- Welcome Brochure: providing information on orientation activities for international students (e.g., campus tours) and other relevant information specific to the Partner Institution where students are hosted.
In the beginning of each semester, each Full Partner University hosting imAGEin students will organize, in collaboration with the local International Relations Office and the imAGEin Coordination Office (MCO), an Integration Week (semester 1) and Kick-off Days (semester 2 and 3) in order to offer orientation to the students and to provide them with information about language courses, housing, and other practicalities. This information will be delivered in the form of oral presentations and will be backed up with the Welcome Package. Videoconferencing may also be used in order to introduce all Local Academic Coordinators to the students.
Students will have access to facilities at each of the universities they are enrolled in. This includes free of charge access to university libraries from the consortium universities, local language courses and sport facilities.
