The welcome session highlighted courses, international mobility and student life, featuring group activities, student participation and a performance by the Tuna
The Escola Superior de Ciências da Administração (ESCAD) marked the start of the 2026/2027 academic year with a welcome session dedicated to welcoming and integrating new students into the academic community.
Throughout the morning, students had the opportunity to learn about how the School operates, its range of courses and the various opportunities available during their academic journey. The session also provided an opportunity to clarify questions about academic life and facilitate their first contact with the higher education environment.
The programme included a group activity designed to encourage interaction between participants, foster new relationships and contribute to a closer and more participatory integration into the academic community.
International mobility was also highlighted through a presentation on opportunities to undertake part of their academic studies abroad. Students were introduced to experiences that allow them to engage with different academic and cultural environments, enriching their personal and academic development.
The IPLUSO Students' Association was also present at the initiative, presenting its role in representing students and organising activities that contribute to academic life.
The session concluded in a convivial atmosphere with a performance by the Tuna, adding a musical touch to the closing of the welcome activities.
The initiative marked the start of the new academic year at ESCAD, providing new students with an initial opportunity to share experiences, integrate and connect with the academic community.
