Tid

Innhold

09:00-09:30

Walk from Halden Campus to Byparken
The event venue, Byparken, is a short walk from the campus (about 30 minutes) and just a few steps from Halden train station. Join the group walk, meeting outside the main entrance of Remmen campus at 09:15. Look for hosts wearing yellow vests.

For those of you who are not walking directly to Byparken, buses will be available outside the main entrance. The first bus departs at 09:10, and the last bus leaves at 09:40. We recommend arriving early. The "first come, first served" principle applies.

10:00-10:45Opening Ceremony at Byparken in Halden
The opening ceremony will be held in beautiful venues right next to Halden train station. From the stage, you will be welcomed to the university, the city, and student life here with us. The rector, student leader, and mayor will take the stage to deliver their speeches to you and your fellow students. There will also be musical entertainment.
10:45-11:15Walk back to campus
It's a pleasant walk back to campus for those who wish to do so. This gives you the opportunity to get to know both the city and your fellow students. Alternatively, buses will be available right outside Byparken.
11:00-12:00Refreshments
We will provide a little energy boost and serve a simple lunch to all new students in our Vrimle area. We offer gluten-free, vegan, and lactose-free options.

We look forward to seeing you on the opening day!
