The new group of Erasmus+ incoming students has arrived at the Kielce University of Technology to study here during the summer semester. Some students who have come to our university for the winter semester decided to extend their mobility. The Department of Staff Development and International Cooperation as every semester has organized The Welcome Days for International Students.
On 2nd of March 2023, the Orientation Day took place. Students watched a presentation about Poland, Kielce, and the university. They also got familiar with the basic rules of studying at the Kielce University of Technology and living in dormitories. Studying under Erasmus+ at KUT this semester start students from Turkey, Italy, for the first time from Romania and also from Morocco, and Malaysia. Students took part in the “Pierogi Quiz “ – they had to answer questions concerned with basic knowledge of Poland, Kielce and KUT. All students got welcome packs and took group photos with attributes of their countries.
The next day on the 3rd of March all the group was invited for a city guide tour. They visited the most significant places in the center of Kielce, got some information about the history of Poland, and finally… had the opportunity to integrate eating pizza.
Also, some of our international students were present during both events, whose task is to help Erasmus students settle in a new country and culture. They know very well that beginning in a new place can be hard and the help of kind people is precious.
