Introduction period: Diesweek

Every year at the end of August, the study association VIP organizes a three-day introduction period for incoming Psychology students, the Diesweek. Mostly first-year students attend the Diesweek, but new master's students can also participate. The days take place in Groningen and are intended to help you get to know your fellow students, the city, and VIP as a study association. You will be grouped with fellow students, and the program will be filled with fun activities to get to know each other better.

Introductory Camp

Every year at the beginning of September, VIP organizes an introductory camp to the Dutch Wadden island Ameland. We call this the Dieskamp. The camp is a great opportunity to get to know your fellow students through various fun activities.

Participation in the Diesweek and introduction camp is not part of the mandatory introduction activities.
