In today’s society, where opinions often clash, and social media debates escalate into arguments, the ability to foster meaningful discussions is more important than ever. At Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, you can develop the skills to navigate sensitive topics, address prejudice, and create space for everyone to share their story.
Why Study Dialogue?
By studying dialogue, you’ll gain a unique perspective on universal issues like diversity, migration, inequality, discrimination, globalization, and climate change. You’ll learn to observe, analyze, and share your findings while approaching complex issues with fresh eyes.
Choose your Path
The perspective you bring to dialogue is entirely your own. If you’re passionate about law, you could become a skilled mediator or conflict analyst. If you’re drawn to helping people, psychology programs will prepare you to address personal and societal challenges. For those inspired to educate and empower others, teaching programmes will help you guide the next generation toward meaningful change.

You’ll collaborate with local organizations, gain insights into their needs, and provide actionable advice. Through meaningful conversations, attentive listening, and the exchange of experiences, you’ll uncover why people act—or don’t act—the way they do.
Dialogue studies will prepare you to navigate conflict, politics, healthcare, education, and more, equipping you to become a socially engaged citizen who drives positive change.
