Of the 1,196 new students, 227 students enrolled in the Bachelor’s Program in Economics and Development Studies (IESP), 304 students in the Bachelor’s Program in Management, and 230 students in the Bachelor’s Program in Accounting.

In addition to introducing the academic environment, the students received sessions on several topics relevant to university life and broader social issues. These included the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), prevention and handling of sexual violence, entrepreneurship, and other topics designed to broaden students’ perspectives and raise awareness of important issues on campus and in society.

The final day focused on student organizations and achievement development. One of the main sessions, “How to Succeed and Achieve Excellence in University,” encouraged students to look beyond academic achievement by actively developing their skills, interests, leadership abilities, and experiences throughout their university journey.

The students were also introduced to various student organizations at FEB Unram. This session provided an overview of the opportunities available for students to develop their interests and talents, strengthen leadership and organizational skills, and become actively involved in campus life.

The program marked the beginning of their academic journey and encouraged the 1,196 new students to adapt to campus life, develop their potential, and pursue academic and non-academic achievements throughout their studies at FEB Unram.
