Area Fair for First Years on 1 November
Before the start of the second semester, first year students pick an area and a language to specialize in. In the second semester they will follow area courses for the area they pick and the language acquisition also starts then. In order to support students in making a decision the BA International Studies organizes an Area Fair on Friday, November 1, 2024 (13:00-16:00) at the Schouwburgstraat ground floor.
The Area Fair will help to familiarize yourselves with the various areas and languages. During this event you are invited to attend short presentations given by lecturers of the areas you are most interested in. Even though you may have had an idea of the area and language you would like to study before you even came to International Studies, the first semester may have resulted in a change of heart, or you may be doubting between more regions or languages. The Area Fair is the place to be to make up your mind.
In addition to the presentations, an information market is organized on the ground floor of the Schouwburgstraat, where you can find stands for all the areas and languages. You can ask questions to lecturers teaching in the area and language acquisition lecturers, as well as students who are present to help their lecturers on the information market.
For those of you who need some help with making a choice, the Study Advisers will be giving a workshop on ‘how to make a choice’. All presentations and workshops are organized in more timeslots in order to guarantee you are able to attend a presentation of the areas you are most interested in. You do not need to register for these presentations or workshops.
We wish you a lot of wisdom in choosing the area and language that you will specialize in and we hope to see you on the 1st!
