Unexpected Journey
Every year, Unexpected Journey is organised in the week before the first lectures take place. This year, the introduction week will take place from Tuesday 27 August through Friday 30 August 2024. The programme focuses on getting to know your classmates and fellow students, BUas, and the city of Breda better. Unexpected Journey is the best start of your student time in Breda! In the week prior to the introduction week you will receive an email with practical information and the definite times of when the programme starts and ends.
Check-in @BUas campus
You will start your Unexpected Journey with your registration on the campus of Breda University of Applied Sciences. There you will receive your introduction T-shirt, among other things. Here you will leave your personal belongings, which we will then take to the introduction location.
Bike ride
As soon as your class is complete, you will have a beautiful bike ride to the introduction location Camping Tulderheyde. Various fun activities will be organised during the bike ride. Don’t you have a bike? Then you can rent one via the registration form.
Pre-party
Upon arrival at the campsite, it is time to set up your sleeping place. Have you settled in? Then it is time to get ready for the first party evening. And what better way to do this than enjoy the best music while having a refreshing drink and a hot meal together with all other participants.
