Accepted incoming exchange student

Orientation Day - your official welcome to Chalmers!

We want to ensure you get a great start to your studies at Chalmers, which is why we invite all incoming exchange students to join the reception for new students. Participation is voluntary but highly recommended. The receptions are an excellent opportunity to make new friends, meet your fellow students, kick-start your studies, and feel at home, all while having fun. By taking part in the reception, you will be assigned to a phadder group. Phadders are Chalmers students who help you settle in both at the university and in Gothenburg.

Chalmers arranges receptions twice a year for international students, one for those arriving in January and one for those arriving in August. Both events are organised by Chalmers in collaboration with CIRC (Chalmers International Reception Committee). Together, we aim to welcome you to Chalmers and help you get started with your new life here.
