Application and registration

Welcome to VU-NT2! Would you like to learn Dutch with us? Then please take the following steps to participate in one of our courses (see drop-down menu).

A complete overview of our courses can be found in our course findercourse programme or online brochure.

VU students
(Exchange) students receive a discount on the course price upon presentation of their student card or student number. For Basic Dutch on Campus (up to A2), students pay even less because the university and faculty co-pay. Upon 80% attendance and passing the final test, they receive a certificate of participation on which study credits are listed, namely 9 EC (day course) or 3 EC (Saturday or evening) per course. Some foreign universities and some programs within the VU Amsterdam take the credits. Most faculties within VU Amsterdam and other universities do not recognize these credits; sometimes they may be listed (extracurricularly). If a student wishes to do so, they should ask within their own faculty.
