The Orientation Days

The Orientation Days for new international students is held at the beginning of each semester. These days provides international students with practical information about Swedish culture, the University and the city of Borås. It is also a perfect opportunity to meet other international students from all over the world.

During the Orientation Days, you will receive practical information to help you prepare for your studies and settle into life in Borås. You will learn how to use the University Library, find your class schedule, access student support services, and get familiar with the campus. You will also meet staff from different parts of the university who are here to support you throughout your studies.

The Orientation Days for students starting their studies in the autumn semester 2026 will take place on 27–28 August. See the schedule here (PDF).

We encourage all new international students to take part in the Orientation Days, as they provide a great start to your time at the University of Borås.
