Apply to VU Amsterdam Summer School and expand your horizons, boost your skills, and make lifelong connections from across the globe.

VU Amsterdam Summer School 2026

4 July to 2 August

This year our summer school covers various themes including sustainability and economics, health, AI and education. Our professors are passionate about sharing their knowledge through interactive lectures, group discussions, and practical assignments. All courses are taught in English. 

VU Summer School is an ideal opportunity for students wishing to push their own boundaries and boost their knowledge early in summer. We also offer social activities so students can get to know each other better outside of the classroom.

All courses run between 4 July and 2 August for one or two weeks. You can even take more than one course if the dates don't overlap.

As a VU student or employee, you get a significant discount. Check out our fees here.

In the application form you will be asked to provide the following two documents (no larger than 1 MB per document): 

  • Curriculum Vitae/Résumé (mostly important for us to understand your educational background) 
  • Transcript of records (a print screen of your most recent grades is sufficient and needs to include your name and university)

The documents will be shared with the professors before the start of the course. If you're ready to start applying, head over to the application form. Deadline to apply is 1 May 2026.

Good luck for the rest of the academic year, and we hope to see you at one of our summer schools in July!
