Try Out Class

Twice a year your will be invited to choose your honours interfaculty courses. To support you in making a good selection, we organise a Try Out Class (TOC) prior to the start of each next semester. During this event you can orient yourself on all interfaculty courses on offer by the UvA and VU, and some AUC courses.

The TOC is a fun, entertaining and inspiring event with lively presentations and an information market where you can also meet the coordinators. During the days following this event, you can apply for placement in courses of your preference by submitting an online course application. 

​Try Out Class events
The last TOC event was organized by the UvA on 28 November 2024. The next Try Out Class event for the 1st semester of the 2025-2026 academic year will be on 5 June at VU.
