Arrival day
To make sure you get settled in easily during your first day in Amsterdam, we offer a pick-up service from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and host an informal welcome event in the evening. If you have arranged your own housing, you are of course very welcome to join. More detailed information will follow later. Winter School arrival days are:
- Session 1: Saturday 5 January 2018
- Session 2: Saturday 12 January 2018
The airport pick-up service is arranged from 9am to 3pm and will bring you to your accommodation at De Boelelaan. Here you will receive your room key (check-in from 3pm, you can leave your luggage with us) and a goodie bag with information package. At the welcome event in the evening you can meet your fellow students. Here we'll explain how to get to the university on Monday morning. Sunday is a free day to explore Amsterdam or other parts of the country.
First and last day of class
On the first Monday of your course we start the day with a campus tour, to explain the university facilities and to guide you to the right classroom. At the end of the day we gather for drinks, snacks and a pub quiz. The last day of your course we meet again when the last classes have ended, to celebrate your participation and to say goodbye in a festive way.
Optional social programme activities
You can apply for optional social programme activities on Wednesday afternoon if you wish.
