Introduction Days for first-year students 2026-2027

During the Introduction Days you will get to know your fellow students, the KABK, and begin to find your feet in The Hague itself.

Monday 24 and Tuesday 25 August - Introduction Days for bachelors, exchange students, and Preparatory Year

Wednesday 26 August - Introduction Day for master's students

Aside from the academy-wide Introduction Days, each department will organise their own introduction. Your department coordinator will contact you about this programme separately.
