You’ll also get a real feel for the VU campus atmosphere and see whether this is the place you feel at home and want to continue your academic journey.

How do I get to VU Amsterdam?

The Master's Event takes place on and around the VU Campus. The various locations are within walking distance of each other. The address of the Main Building is De Boelelaan 1105, 1081 HV in Amsterdam.
The Master's Event is best reached by public transport or by bicycle. Amsterdam Zuid station is about a 5-minute walk from the VU campus. Trains and metros stop here, while trams and buses stop right next to the VU. Plan your route to Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam via Google Maps or 9292ov and take any roadworks into account.
We advise against travelling by car due to the limited number of parking spaces around the VU and the fact that parking is paid.
