Welcome! Arrival of Exchange Students in Wels

Seventeen new exchange students from eight different countries arrived to Wels for their exchange semester this spring term. Together with the exchange students from the Winter Semester who prolonged their stay, Wels counts a new record for a Summer Semester!

The new exchange students from eight different countries were heartily greeted and officially introduced to the FH and to Wels during the Orientation Week, which took place from February 28th to March 2nd and was organized by the Buddies and the International Office. The Incomings, as the exchange students are referred to, attended various seminars with the aim of integrating into student life at the FH as well as in Wels. With seminars in Intercultural Orientation and IT-Session they were able to gather useful information for their exchange semester.

Thanks to the help of the Buddies, the Incomings also joined free time activities that gave them the opportunity to get to know each other and some of the regular Wels students. At the historic city tour they were able to catch a first glance of their new town and learn about its history.
