Join our welcome week

Pssst! At the start of each semester AP organises a welcome week for exchange students. During this week you get the chance to kick-start your Dutch language skills and tag along for a bit of sightseeing in Antwerp. Which gives you a great head start and helps you settle in and make friends right away.
