Frequently asked Questions
What is TOP Week?
TOP Week is the introduction week of all new students who will start their studies in Tilburg. The week is filled with various activities where you will immediately get to know Tilburg and its student life very well. Examples of activities are an opening festival, 013 Fair, Film Festival and the week will end with the TOP Cantus!
Are all activities during TOP Week mandatory?
TOP Week is a voluntary program, so not every activity is mandatory. However, taking part in all activities will show you Tilburg in the best way possible!
Will I be hazed during TOP Week?
The answer is no. Hazing is a kind of initiation ritual that students go through in order to become a member of a student association. Hazing excesses such as are occasionally reported in other student cities (giving rise to all kinds of wild stories) fortunately do not occur at Tilburg University. There is no place for hazing in TOP Week. TOP Week is all about sharing information, getting acquainted with one another, and of course having lots of fun.
