Introduction activities for exchange students

VU Amsterdam is looking forward to welcoming all new exchange students in Augustus 2025!

For students arriving in Fall semester of the academic year 2025/26, we will organize an extensive arrival and introduction programme. This programme will start in the week beginning on Monday 18 August.

Together with other exchange students, you will discover all the hotspots on campus and in Amsterdam. You can participate in interesting sessions and fun activities. You will also get to know various student associations and all services that VU Amsterdam offers to its students.
