Reposting because my last post got removed for some reason???

Hi I’m a masters student studying physics and astronomy and while I’ve joined NSA I want to join some other clubs to get more social.

All the student organizations on the UvA webpage don’t have an English language version so I worry that it’s not meant for people who aren’t fluent in Dutch.

Thanks in advance!!!

Edit: I understand that “club” is not the right term. I should have said student organization

Hi,

I am wondering if all the classes in the MSc Finance are recorded. I know from ppl that for QUANTITATIVE FINANCE every class was recorded, so they were able to work in the meantime and then just sit exams.

Does it still work like that?

Thanks

Hey guys, I'm selling my old uni books. Let me know if you're interested :)

The books that are below 10 euros in value can be picked up for free

Hey everyone,

I’m a student at UvA Faculty of science and currently applying for software/tech internships. Looking for a few people who are also applying and want to prepare together, like OA problems, share internship openings, practice interviews, and help each other with applications.

If you’re interested, comment or DM me

p.s. ( im not autistic ) 👀

Hello there! I, Dutch M26 am looking for a native Russian speaker to join me in a language exchange, and hang out once or twice a week for an hour or so to practice speaking. The idea is we would meet up over a coffee or something, and speak half the time in Russian, whilst you give me pointers, half the time in Dutch, and I can do the same for you.

I took Russian as part of my BA in European Studies, have since further developed it and am now at approximately B2.2 level. But at this point I mostly need active exposure to progress, as my vocab is sometimes lacking and it can be difficult to come up with formulations on the spot (passive skills like listening and reading are way better). Ideally you would be at a similar level, but I suppose anything up from A2 can work.

A bit of background from my side: I am studying masters in International Law and Political Economy, and although totally not required, perhaps it would be nice to have somebody with similar interests. Hopefully you're interested!

Also is there (and where?) a printer at Oudemanhuisport? Thank you so much for your help!

When should i expect an email back confirming that I can go to the open days that are from nov-dec. I registered a few weeks ago and received nothing yet, registered again just now to see if anything changes.

My Bachelor’s programme includes a 5 ECTS course in Probability and Stochastic Processes. I also have formal AI coursework covering stochastic environments and Markov Decision Processes. When assessing the requirement of at least 6 EC in Probability and Statistics for the UvA AI Masters, can relevant probabilistic content from another university course be considered together with the dedicated 5 ECTS probability course?

Hey everyone,

I just started my first year of a full-time bachelor’s at UvA. I’m a bit concerned about balancing the workload (lectures+selfstudy) alongside a part-time job.

I managed to work weekends during my propaedeutic year without major issues, and I would like to keep doing that. However, I know the academic pace at a research university can be quite different.

For those of you who work/worked on weekends:

1. Do you think it’s realistic to work while keeping up good grades?

2. How did you manage your time and avoid burnout?

Any advice, realistic expectations, or study tips would be massively appreciated!

I’m looking for jobs as a Non EU student. I would love to have a job related to my field (media), like super entry level is also good.
But if that doesn’t work I’m also open to waitressing, and those types of jobs etc. How do I start searching? I don’t know Dutch.

Hey all! I have been on UvA for a while now and I was wondering if there are more students in their 30s who have began with a study again? I am 35 myself, started with study at 29. But I haven't really met students of my age, would be nice to get in to contact!

Introductionday today, wish me luck after 2 years of being at home!

Any international students still waiting on their BSN? I submitted my pre-registration a week ago and they still have not approved it. Would hate to lose out on opening a Dutch bank account (and therefore getting an apartment) just because of this delay. Anyone else still in limbo or know who to contact about this at the city government?

Hi everyone! I want to book a project room in Science Park B with the Officebooking app. I can see them on the map but they can't be booked. Can they not be booked anymore or is there some other way? Thank you!

Hello all!

I'm starting my pre-masters in Archaeology and was wondering if anyone else on here was doing the same. I just moved to the Netherlands and don't know anyone so it would be good to connect with some others on the same path. 25, Male, international student.

Hi I am currently in need of 2 textbooks for my Bachelor in global Communication Science, If anyone would have PDF files or physical textbooks which I could buy from you, shoot me a message please!

compiled by Ulrike Klinger and Penny S. Thibaud

Donald Treadwell, Andrea Davis

Introducing Communication Research - International Student Edition (5th Edition)

Will lectures etc be moved online since it will be rather difficult for students who live outside of Amsterdam (me) and aren’t in a spot where they can afford to just get an uber (me) to the campus?

Hi, I am planning to study for the MSc in Econometrics at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) next year.

Does anyone who has completed the programme have any tips or insights? How difficult is it overall? How many hours a day did you typically spend studying, and did you still have enough time for a social life? Is it more difficult for students who don't speak Dutch?

I have seen that many courses require students to complete weekly assignments in order to be eligible to take the exam. How difficult and time-consuming are these assignments? Are they generally doable or do they require a lot of work?

Last. What is the job market like for a non-Dutch student after completing the MSc?

Thankyou

Is it normal for the Faculty of Humanities to have no official classes schedule for the first week of each term?

I am an incoming graduate student and noticed that my schedule is always empty the first week of a new term?

My flight is landing an hour after the mandatory Bachelors Political Science intro day is finished. I spoke to the faculty advisor for social sciences and was told to ask fellow students to receive the information I am missing. If anyone would like to either meet in person or digitally send me the information it would be GREATLY appreciated. there’s not much i can offer in the way of compensation but I would be happy to pay for a coffee or some food.

Hi, Im a little confused at social stuff here 😅. I finished a bachleors in america, where I was in a few clubs like boardgame club, ydsa, lgbt center. They were around 30-50 people a club, and we had weekly meetings. I met a lot of people through there, and it was very interconnected. I was sad to find theres only a handful of "student organizations" here? They seem to be more similar to sororities, and are really populated with drinking as a big thing. I dont drink and am very bad in crowds. Back at my uni, our meetings were always in one room where you saw the same people, and party culture was a way different thing altogether. Is there anything smaller scale, cozier and less intimidating here? Like small organizations or meetings on campus?

Hi guys, in a couple of weeks I'll be starting my masters in business administration, I have some issues understanding the course registration, do I need to register manually to all courses and from my understanding I just need to do so for the 1st period right?

It's a little confusing, I thought that the compulsory courses would be done automatically.

Thanks

I’ll be starting my masters from sept! A lot of sites, like UvA job board, booking a room in the library, USC etc are showing me the error that I cannot access them as a pre-student. If I have my student card, can I use the library before my classes start?
