Study In Netherlands: The University of Amsterdam Admission Application Procedure.

Some couple of days ago I wrote about Amsterdam Science Talent Scholarship. Today I have put together step by step on how to apply for admission, requirements and various programmes available in English at the University of Amsterdam (UvA). The study programmes at UvA offer students a high level of autonomy, reflecting the respect for individual opinions and convictions that is characteristic of Dutch society. The result is an interactive teaching style that encourages students to develop self-reliance and independent thought. The UvA offers 15 English-taught Bachelor's programmes and has one of the largest selections of international Master's study programmes of any university in Europe. This includes nearly 200 English taught and several entirely unique to programmes at the UvA.

Choose the appropriate academic year, select ‘University’ and 'Bachelor’s  or  non  master  programmes’ or ‘Master’s or other follow-up study programme’. Next, select ‘University of Amsterdam’ as the educational institution and choose the programme for which you wish to study. Check that you have chosen the correct name. Finally, choose ‘full-time’ and select ‘Confirm study programme’ and fill in the starting date information. If you would like to apply for another programme you can click ‘Add new enrolment’ and choose your programme in the dropdown menu.
