UvA Training - Student Services

The countdown has begun!

We hope everything is going smoothly as you prepare for your exchange semester this Spring! While you’re counting down the days, and to make the wait a little more enjoyable, we’d love to invite you to two of our events on Thursday, 13 November.

Predeparture meeting (17:00-18:15, REC A0.01)
What can you expect? Topics covered include:
✅ What not to forget before your departure
✅ What to do upon arrival
✅ Useful tips for your exchange (including insights from former exchange students)
✅ Opportunity to ask any last-minute questions

Goodbye event (18:15-19:30, REC A Hall)
What can you expect?
Right after the predeparture meeting, we, together with ESN, invite all future exchange students, former exchange students and current exchange students at the UvA – who are about to wrap up their time in Amsterdam and return home – to come together, have a drink, and share tips, stories, and experiences on preparing for an exchange journey. It is a great opportunity to meet each other, ask questions, and enjoy a nice atmosphere before your next chapter begins!

Please only register for this event if you are a student going on exchange during the second semester of the 2025-2026 academic year.
