International Student Services

When you apply:

International Student Advisors (ISAs)

If you have a specific question about applying for one of our international Master's programmes with a non-Dutch diploma you can contact the International Student Advisor(s) of your programme. The ISA will be your main point of contact and can help with questions about the programme, admission requirements or application procedure. Every Master's degree programme has its own International Student Advisor(s).

When you are admitted:

Immigration Services for students

When you are a citizen of a non-EU/EEA country, you need to complete the immigration procedure before you can start your studies at VU Amsterdam. Our Student Immigration Service will apply for the required immigration documents on your behalf.

Accommodation Services for students

Our Student Accommodation Service can support you with arranging accommodation for international students enrolling in one of our international Master's programmes.

Student Administration

The Student Administration will help you with any questions about paying your tuition fees and will verify the certified copy of your diploma.

When you arrive:
