Congratulations and welcome to Arcada! We wish you a fantastic time here. On these pages you can find more information about the Introduction Days.

The Introduction Days are your first step on your study journey towards a degree. During these days we will introduce you to how Arcada and your studies work in practice. The days can be a bit intense containing a lot of information, but do not worry - your study counsellors and tutors are here to support you. Come as you are - the atmosphere at Arcada is informal and there is no dresscode. The only thing you need to do is make sure that you have gone through the Introduction Days checklist beforehand and show up on time. We look forward to meeting you!
