Academic year 2021-2022: 
Education at the UvA, come to Amsterdam

For the new academic year, we are assuming that teaching activities on the campus will be possible without restrictions.

Our starting point is that in academic year 2021-2022 we will be able to offer all teaching activities on campus without restrictions. All students (including international ones) are therefore expected to return to Amsterdam in academic year 2021-2022. It goes without saying that the teaching activities will depend on the coronavirus developments. As a result, the rules regarding physical presence may still change for 2021-2022. We will notify you of this in good time. However, the premise is that things will go back to normal.

Timetables and schedules are currently being drawn up. We want to return to the campus, to face-to-face teaching and meeting up with each other. This is why we have now decided to assume that ‘regular’ in-person attendance will be possible in academic year 2021-2022.

Our campuses

The UvA has four campuses located across Amsterdam. Some classes are in quaint old buildings overlooking the canals, others in high-tech laboratories. Take a digital stroll through our campuses in preparation for when we can start up education on campus again.

Academic year 2020-2021:
Teaching in second semester online; studying and meeting on campus

Want to know what education in the second semester looks like for your programme? The regular scheduled education will be offered online in the second semester of academic year 2020-2021. If degree programme departments see opportunities for providing on-campus teaching activities they will do so. Keep an eye on the information on your programme’s website for the latest update.
