The welcome event was organised under the safety rules of the Luxembourg CovidCheck procedure to ensure a safe Welcome Day for all participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Welcome Day 2021 hosted mainly new Bachelor and Master students, who were treated to a free lunch and a Welcome pack containing useful and fun items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lunch time was an opportunity to collect some students\u2019 impressions on this first campus day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe feel privileged to be able to study in the very heart of Europe,\u201d new students Takeru and Akari said. Both students are enrolled in a one-year student exchange with the Waseda University of Tokyo, and chose the University of Luxembourg to complete their Bachelor in European Cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Charlyne and Ines have both completed their high school education in neighbouring France, but were looking for a modern university offering academic courses in English. \u201cWe very much like the idea of studying in such a dynamic and young university.\u201d Both were born in 2003, the year the University of Luxembourg was created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sasha came from Minsk (Belarus) to complete her Master in Integrated Systems Biology (MISB). In the course of the Bachelor studies, she was involved in a joint project on cancer research with the Luxembourg Institute of Health and was therefore particularly excited to pursue her Master studies in Luxembourg. \u201cIt is a chance to study here, because the medical studies level is very high,\u201d she emphasised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the campus, information stands manned by staff members, student volunteers and members of student associations welcomed newcomers to various university services and activities. Student services such as Admission &amp; Accommodation and the Office of Student Life, as well as the Student Delegation and the IT Student Care were present to provide information to newcomers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the information stands, guided tours organised by student associations allowed visitors to discover the various venues on the campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Welcome Day is followed by a Welcome Week&nbsp;from 20-23 September on Belval Campus, during which various University services will continue to present themselves. The Welcome Week programme is available on welcomeday.uni.lu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To all new students, the University extends a warm welcome and wishes a successful academic year!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Luxembourg welcomed over 1,000 new students on its traditional Welcome Day, on 16 September, on Belval Campus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":8253,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":[],"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"","uluxPrePostTitle":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false},"news-category":[10],"news-topic":[],"organisation":[154,108,32,233],"authorship":[44],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Welcome, new students 2021-2022!
