UvA Study Abroad Month 2026: Meet the UvA IDEAs, hear from experience experts, and ask your questions in the Q&A!

Discover more about studying abroad with a disability, chronic illness or neurodivergence!

It can be daunting to embark on a study abroad experience as a student with special needs. We are organising this cosy in-person session together with UvA IDEAs, the platform run by students with a disability, chronic illness or neurodivergence, committed to creating an accessible and inclusive UvA. First, we will discuss the various support opportunities and programmes available for students with special needs. Then students who have already completed their study abroad experiences will share their stories, insights and advice. The session ends with a Q&A, so bring your questions and concerns along!

Let us know about your accessibility needs or concerns by emailing us at global@uva.nl

This session is part of SAM26, the UvA Study Abroad Month 2026.
