The orientation week takes place from 22 August until 29 August. So make sure you have nothing else planned that week!
Our faculty
Within Radboud University, the Faculty of Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies has a special place. At this faculty, students are taught to reflect on philosophical and ideological issues. We train students to become critical and engaged academics, who can take up responsible positions in society with a conscious vision of science and society.
