History
This summer will be the 9th edition of VU Amsterdam Summer School. Over the years we have welcomed over 1500 students.
Education
The one and two week courses cover multiple themes and are offered by all nine faculties of the university. Bachelor, Master and PhD students as well as professionals are all welcome to apply. From start to finish, we will be here to support you with your course and practical issues such as accommodation. In addition to the course, we offer exciting social activities! Will you join us?
Housing services
- We offer different accommodation options in different parts of Amsterdam. The accommodation options will be shared on this page in Spring (15 April latest). Registrations will be based on a first-come-first-serve basis (the earliest you apply and pay for your course, the earlier you can select your accommodation preference).
