At this meeting we discuss the programme and the courses given during the autumn semester.

In connection with the introductory meeting we finalize the course selection and registration process for the first semester within the programme.  If you need assistance to select your courses and set up an individual study plan, you are welcome to contact the director of studies or the student counsellor before the introductory meeting.
