Study Abroad

 

VU University Amsterdam encourages its students to gain some international experience while still at university. This may involve studying at a foreign university for one or two semesters, or perhaps an internship with a host organization in another country. This section provides further information. If you have any questions, please contact the International Office at international@vu.nl.

Note - this section contains information primarily of interest to VU University Amsterdam students who wish to study or follow an internship outside the Netherlands. If you are an international student looking for information regarding your stay in the Netherlands, please see Extra information for international students.
