HÖGSKOLAN I BORÅS

During your first time as a student, you will come into contact with the university through their introduction. Various sessions are arranged that you can take part in, where you can learn more about everything that studying at the university entails.

Not sure what an exam is? How do you actually find the course literature you need? And what is the difference between a seminar and an examining seminar? Keep an eye on the university's website to keep track of all aspects of the introduction!

STUDENT BUDDIES

During the Kick-Off in Borås, there are several students who stand up as student buddies to help during activities and to welcome all new students to Borås.

There are slightly different types of student buddies, but everyone strives to make the NYS's first time at the university as good as possible!

For each kick-off, a project group works to plan one week for the spring and two weeks for the fall filled with activities for all new students. The Kick-Offs are designed by PRG so that the NYS (new students) get the best possible start at the university. You can reach them via the email below or look for someone with a green student buddy shirt!

You can reach the project group at introduktionen@studentkareniboras.se or at the Kick-Off's Instagram @insparkeniboras

A student buddy is the first person you meet at the Kick-Off at the University of Borås. The student buddies are other students who have chosen to help make your first two Kick-Off weeks at the university as good as possible. They are here to help answer questions and guide you in the various concerns you may have as a NYS.

You recognize the different student buddies by the color of their shirt, yellow for Scientias, red for Novitas and blue for Humanitas. But of course all student buddies are there to help you regardless of the color of their shirt.

The Pointgenerals, also known as PG, are the gang seen with their orange shirts (and their mascot Brunte). They are selected before the autumn Kick-Offs for the annual section competition.

Those of you that wants to do one of the missions from the 100 list, PG is the ones to look for. The PG will then score your completed mission, then compile all scored missions, until there is a victorious section in the Kick-Off's point hunt!

You can reach the Pointgenerals on the Kick-Off's Instagram @insparkeniboras

UNION BOARD

The Student Union board often runs around during the Kick-Off. Why not grab them to get to know who works every day for you as a student? Or just to ask your questions?
