Welcome Week for New International Students

For whom? All new international students at RWTH Aachen

When? Welcome Week from March 28 to 31, 2023 (+ Online Program Fit for RWTH from March 21 to 23, 2023)

I liked the Welcome Week because it was a great opportunity to meet amazing people from all around the world and make new friends.

Student from Brazil

I loved all the events and the main reason is that all of the events were well structured and very informative. […] Though I'm not in Aachen yet, I can say now that I know RWTH and Aachen city already.

Student from India

Most of the events reminded me of the ones I have at my home university, so it made me feel a really warm welcome and also like home.
