Are you getting excited yet?
We hope everything is going smoothly as you prepare for your exchange semester this Fall! While you’re counting down the days, we’d love to help you get even more ready — and make the wait a bit more enjoyable. You’re invited to two events on Thursday 15 May!

Predeparture meeting (17:00-18:30, REC A0.01)
What can you expect?
✅ Get useful tips for your exchange (including insights from former exchange students)
✅ Make sure you’re fully prepared
✅ Ask any last-minute questions

Goodbye event (18:30-19:30, REC A Hall)
What can you expect?
Right after the predeparture meeting, we invite all future exchange students, former exchange students and current exchange students at the UvA – who are about to wrap up their time in Amsterdam and return home – to come together, have a drink, and share tips, stories, and experiences on preparing for an exchange journey. It is a great opportunity to meet each other, ask questions, and enjoy a nice atmosphere before your next chapter begins!

Please only register for this event if you are a student going on exchange to a destination in Europe in the first semester of the 2025-2026 academic year.
