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 23 and Tuesday 24 August - Introduction Days for bachelor's, exchange, and Preparatory Year students

Wednesday 25 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.

Below you will find links to information about what you need to arrange when you arrive in The Hague — from residence permits to FAQs. This is important info for international students.
