Start your studies right with the VU Introduction Days
Feeling at home on campus and in the city in five days
Take a tour of the VU campus and try out a few sports at Campus Uilenstede. Get to know all of the student associations that the university and Amsterdam have to offer in the areas of sports, culture, religion and fun. And get to know the city better. You can visit different museums, attend a concert in the Concertgebouw or take a boat trip on the canals. During the Comedy Night, you will visit one of the theatres in the city. And you will end the week in celebration at an extravagant party at De Melkweg and Paradiso!
The short version: prepare for your studies in two days
You can also choose to participate only on Monday 30 August and Tuesday 31 August. You will be given a tour of the VU campus, get an introduction to your study programme and participate in an optional programme where you can choose two workshops, such as ‘Study smart’ or ‘Get ready for the language proficiency test’.
