The University of Luxembourg’s Student Life Team held their second “Welcome Days” event between 15 and 20 September 2016 on the Belval campus.

The first event was a Garden Party held on 15 September where there was a barbecue and various sporting activities in which ten different teams competed for prizes such as Huawei smartphones, shopping vouchers for Belval Plaza and Utopolis cinema tickets.

On 16 September, the Student Life Team organised a Pool Party in Differdange where students had another opportunity to meet other newcomers and classmates whilst competing in a game of waterpolo or snacking on finger food. The Pool Party was followed by “Belval Campus Invasion” at Rockhal organised in conjunction with Luxembourgish DJs Hootenanny and open to students and members of the public alike.

Monday 19 September marked the beginning of classes, but also provided the occasion for a breakfast buffet and information stalls in the Maison du Savoir in Esch-Belval before the President of the University of Luxembourg Rainer Klump’s multilingual welcome speech. There were also CV workshops on 20 September to provide students with information regarding job searching and interviews.
