Get ready for INKOM
Maastricht's introduction week!

Introduction Days

Your academic journey at FPN begins with the Introduction Days, which take place between Monday 26 August 2024 to Friday 30 August 2024.  It's the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself, meet your peers and get to know all that FPN has to offer. You'll get a head start on your academic experience and, depending on your specific study programme, your first Problem-Based Learning (PBL) sessions begin either during or shortly after the introduction days. 

Every study has its own schedule during the FPN Introduction Days. Be sure to check out your introduction programme. While attendance is optional, we strongly encourage you to join to ensure a smooth and successful start - whether you're new to FPN or returning for another study programme. Make sure you register on time! The deadline is 16 August. We can't wait to welcome you!

My Timetable

My Timetable is an online tool that provides a personalised schedule of your courses, lectures, tutorials, and other academic activities. Your timetable will be published on My Timetable approximately two weeks prior to the start of an academic period. For example: for period 1 the timetable will be published on 15 August 2024.

You can find instructions for My Timetable on the UM website.
You can also link My Timetable to your personal calendar application. Once they have been linked, your teaching schedules will automatically be imported into your personal calendar, with easy access to your schedules!
 

Register for education

You can only attend a course with a valid registration. Course and/or exam registration is only possible during the UM registration windows. Course registration includes the exam right after the course.

Do I have to register for courses? 

- If you are a new bachelor Psychology or Brain Science student, you will be registered for all courses in period 1, 2 and 3. As of period 4 you will have to register for your courses yourself. 
- If you are a new master Psychology, Forensic Psychology or Research Master Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience student, you will be registered for all courses in period 1. As of period 2, you will have to register for your courses yourself. Registration deadline period 2: 15 September 2024.

or the International Joint Master of Research in Work and Organizational Psychology you are exempt from registration for courses. All your courses will be registered for you.
