Living the campus | Brixen-Bressanone
text
Intensive language courses are the first step into your student life. To make the best out of it, unibz organises a series of social and cultural events to fill up your evenings and to encourage you to get to know the campus.
To ensure a great experience for all participants, make sure to reserve your spot! Registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, so don't miss out on the opportunity to join the activities. Be part of the fun!
Most of the activities take place outdoors and take advantage of the nature of South Tyrol, so in case of bad weather they may be reduced or cancelled. You will be informed each day if activities will be cancelled or changed in the programme below.
How to reserve your spot
Activities with a limited number of participants (those marked with *) must be booked in advance. You can sign up for activities directly at this link.
