| University profile | The Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA), founded in 1632, has a strong historical bond with the city of Amsterdam. Nowadays studying at the UvA means having one of the world's most fascinating cities as a campus because the university buildings are scattered all over the city. With over 24,000 students, including more than 2,500 international students and researchers, the UvA is one of the four 'classical' comprehensive universities in the Netherlands. This means that it offers a very wide range of programmes. |

In certain cases it is possible to take one or two courses outside of the host faculty, but this can only be arranged on a case-by-case basis by your host faculty and is dependent on availability of courses. Course placement is not guaranteed. Course placement is generally not confirmed until right before the start of the semester. |

| Scholarship information | ------ |
| Dormitory information | Please note that there is significant accommodation shortage in Amsterdam. All incoming exchange students are kindly requested to complete their housing applications as soon as they receive confirmation of their acceptance. Under our revised housing allocation process, students will be notified of their housing lottery results by June 19th for the first semester and by November 12th for the second semester. If any students are not successful in securing housing through the lottery, we strongly advise against traveling to Amsterdam. The city poses significant challenges for finding accommodation on the private market. http://www.uva.nl/housing |
