Hey all! I have been on UvA for a while now and I was wondering if there are more students in their 30s who have began with a study again? I am 35 myself, started with study at 29. But I haven't really met students of my age, would be nice to get in to contact!

Introductionday today, wish me luck after 2 years of being at home!

Any international students still waiting on their BSN? I submitted my pre-registration a week ago and they still have not approved it. Would hate to lose out on opening a Dutch bank account (and therefore getting an apartment) just because of this delay. Anyone else still in limbo or know who to contact about this at the city government?

Hi everyone! I want to book a project room in Science Park B with the Officebooking app. I can see them on the map but they can't be booked. Can they not be booked anymore or is there some other way? Thank you!

Hello all!

I'm starting my pre-masters in Archaeology and was wondering if anyone else on here was doing the same. I just moved to the Netherlands and don't know anyone so it would be good to connect with some others on the same path. 25, Male, international student.

Will lectures etc be moved online since it will be rather difficult for students who live outside of Amsterdam (me) and aren’t in a spot where they can afford to just get an uber (me) to the campus?

Hi, I am planning to study for the MSc in Econometrics at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) next year.

Does anyone who has completed the programme have any tips or insights? How difficult is it overall? How many hours a day did you typically spend studying, and did you still have enough time for a social life? Is it more difficult for students who don't speak Dutch?

I have seen that many courses require students to complete weekly assignments in order to be eligible to take the exam. How difficult and time-consuming are these assignments? Are they generally doable or do they require a lot of work?

Last. What is the job market like for a non-Dutch student after completing the MSc?

Thankyou

Is it normal for the Faculty of Humanities to have no official classes schedule for the first week of each term?

I am an incoming graduate student and noticed that my schedule is always empty the first week of a new term?

My flight is landing an hour after the mandatory Bachelors Political Science intro day is finished. I spoke to the faculty advisor for social sciences and was told to ask fellow students to receive the information I am missing. If anyone would like to either meet in person or digitally send me the information it would be GREATLY appreciated. there’s not much i can offer in the way of compensation but I would be happy to pay for a coffee or some food.

Hi, Im a little confused at social stuff here 😅. I finished a bachleors in america, where I was in a few clubs like boardgame club, ydsa, lgbt center. They were around 30-50 people a club, and we had weekly meetings. I met a lot of people through there, and it was very interconnected. I was sad to find theres only a handful of "student organizations" here? They seem to be more similar to sororities, and are really populated with drinking as a big thing. I dont drink and am very bad in crowds. Back at my uni, our meetings were always in one room where you saw the same people, and party culture was a way different thing altogether. Is there anything smaller scale, cozier and less intimidating here? Like small organizations or meetings on campus?

Hi guys, in a couple of weeks I'll be starting my masters in business administration, I have some issues understanding the course registration, do I need to register manually to all courses and from my understanding I just need to do so for the 1st period right?

It's a little confusing, I thought that the compulsory courses would be done automatically.

Thanks

I’ll be starting my masters from sept! A lot of sites, like UvA job board, booking a room in the library, USC etc are showing me the error that I cannot access them as a pre-student. If I have my student card, can I use the library before my classes start?

Hi everyone, does someone maybe have the Intermediate Accounting: IFRS Edition – 5th edition PDF File? I need it for this upcoming year 👍😃

Heyy, I couldn't really find anyone from the major but I'd love to have people to hang out with during intreeweek (if I attend) or just meet people in general so feel free to dm me your insta username :)

Hi all, I want to know how hard it is to get into a master's in actuarial science and is that course any good?

Selling my textbooks for cheaper than buying them from Machiavelli, message me if interested

I did international a levels, the requirements for my acceptance were Cs in 3 subjects. I did Spanish (A), Art (B), English lit (C) and Biology (D). But art isn't accepted so I didn't hit my offer requirements. Is it over? Is there anything I can do, anyone I can contact? Please help the website isn't working for me.

Hello, almost a month ago I completed pre-registration with the Amsterdam municipality. That same day I received an email titled 'Confirmation pre registration', but the email is empty, literally only has the title. Since then, I have not heard from them. Is this normal, and when can I except to be assigned a time slot for registering in person. For context, I enrolled at University of Amsterdam.

Hi! I’m starting the Economics and Business Economics programme this September, and I received an email about the Mathematics Summer School for Mathematics 1 for Economics (6011P0236Y).

The email says that if you pass the Summer School test, you’ll be exempt from the online entrance test in the first week of the Mathematics 1 course.

I’m wondering what exactly this entrance test is for, and what happens if you don’t pass it. Is the Summer School worth doing, or can I just skip it and take the entrance test?

Would appreciate answers from anyone who has taken the course before, Thanks!

I want to go to either Amsterdam Science Park or Roeterseilandcampus. The studies I’m doubting between are quite close but the Roeterseilandcampus seems more accessible with public transport.

Would I need a bike if I go to Amsterdam Science Park or would the train be reliable? Did you miss any lectures or exams because you couldn’t make it to campus?

Overall I do prefer roeterseilandcampus because I’m scared that the OV will cancel or will be very busy on the way to Science Park (specifically the Sprinter from Amsterdam Centraal to Amsterdam Science Park NS station). But looking at the programmes I think the one at Science Park is a bit more interesting and broader.

At Open Days it seemed okay (even very peaceful because Roeterseilandcampus looked a lot more busy) but I’m not 100% sure if that is also the same when lectures start and travelling in mornings during busy hours.

So could I do UvA Science Park without a bike and only OV or should I just go to Roeterseilandcampus if I’m concerned about arriving in time and stuff.

I know I will never get my bike out tho and prefer the OV especially if its rainy or a lot of wind
