Introduction Days

Our Introduction Days are designed to help new exchange and international students dive into university life with ease. Over these immersive events, you’ll meet fellow students, explore Amsterdam, and get to know the VU campus. It’s the perfect way to make new friends, discover local hotspots, and find your way around the city. Join us for an exciting start to your journey and make the most of your time here at VU Amsterdam!

Stay tuned to our Instagram for schedule and ticket sales! To apply as an introduction coach, check out our get involved page.

Dates

We organise two Introduction Days (Fall and Spring) a year — one at the start of each semester in early-September and early-February, right as each semester kicks off.

Tickets

Ticket sales for both events begin a month before the start date, so make sure to keep an eye out on our Instagram for the schedule, mark your calendars, and grab your tickets early!

Intro Coach

We’re also looking for current VU students to volunteer as Introduction Coaches. It’s a great way to connect with new students and share your own experiences in Amsterdam.
