Welcome session
International students are invited to participate in the welcome session which usually takes place a few days before the semester starts. They receive general information on the study at UMPRUM, the offer of courses for international students, the credit system at UMPRUM. The students are registered and obtain a confirmation for public transport card and a confirmation of study at UMPRUM. They also receive a password for the local intranet.
The “buddy for everybody” is introduced to the students to provide them with practical guidance and personal help.
International students' rights/responsibilities
International students accepted for studies at UMPRUM are entitled to benefit from the same student advantages as local students, i.e. to receive a student transport card, to cater in students’ canteens, to have student discounts in museums and galleries, to use equipment in studios, workshops and other premises of the Academy. They should, however, respect safety rules and technical staff´ instructions. Students may make full use of the library and the computer centres as well photocopying services.
More detailed operating rules are handed out to students during the welcome session.
