Before your exchange starts, there will be an introduction, which takes place around mid-August (Fall semester) or the weekend before the semester starts (Spring semester).
Together with fellow exchange students, you will explore the VU campus and the vibrant city of Amsterdam, take part in engaging sessions and social activities, and connect with student associations. You will also get to know the wide range of services Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam offers to support your academic and personal journey.
We highly encourage you to participate in the introduction programme. It's a great opportunity to take care of practical matters and, just as importantly, to start building friendships that often last throughout your exchange.
For admitted students taking part in the upcoming introduction programme, detailed information will be made available on VU's learning platform Canvas.
