VU Bachelor’s Days

Friday 6 and Saturday 7 November 2026

Find out for yourself and register

Explore degree programmes, experience the atmosphere and ask your questions

What can you do at the VU Bachelor’s Days? 

  • Get a feel for student life 
    Start your visit by hearing directly from VU Amsterdam students about their studies and student life. What is university actually like? What surprised them when they started? And what do they wish they had known when they were choosing a degree? 
  • Explore the programmes you are interested in 
    Join sessions for the Bachelor’s programmes on your list – or explore one you might not have considered before. Lecturers, current students and graduates will tell you more about what you will study, the subjects you will take and what studying the programme is really like. Some programmes also offer a sample lecture or workshop, so you can experience it for yourself. 
  • Ask your questions 
    Wondering about a particular programme? Admission? Studying abroad? Student life? Or simply what a normal week looks like? Talk to students, lecturers and VU Amsterdam staff at the information market. This is your chance to ask questions you cannot always answer by reading a website. 
  • Want to know more about studying in the Netherlands and our services for international students? 
    Join one of the International student sessions hosted by our International Office. Get information about housing, visa, admission, studying in the Netherlands and much more. Our International Office is also available on the information market for all your questions.
  • See where you could be studying 
    Take a campus tour and see VU Amsterdam for yourself. Walk through the buildings, see where lectures take place, find the study spaces and get a feel for the campus you could soon be spending a lot of your time on. 
  • Find out what happens outside the lecture hall 
    University life is about more than your degree. Meet study associations and find out more about sport, culture and other activities you can get involved in alongside your studies.

Want to start exploring now? 

You do not have to wait until November. Log in to My Study Choice, select the Access to Campus Online event and explore Campus Online. You can watch programme videos, get a better idea of what you will study and take a first look at student life at VU Amsterdam. It is an easy way to explore the programmes you are interested in at your own pace before deciding which sessions you want to visit in November. 

Cannot make it on 6 or 7 November? 

There will be another VU Bachelor’s Day on Saturday 6 February 2027. You will have another chance to explore our Bachelor’s programmes, meet students and lecturers, ask your questions and experience the VU Amsterdam campus for yourself. Registration for this open day will begin somewhere in November.
