    A solid and rewarding academic experience

    My overall experience at UvA was great. The program was well-structured, and the professors were generally approachable if you took the initiative to ask questions during or after lectures. The campus is well-integrated into the beautiful city of Amsterdam. I deducted one star because the schedule can sometimes feel a bit cramped, and the exams are heavily weighted. I would definitely recommend UvA to anyone looking for a high-quality European university experience.

    Pre-Masters in Literary Studies

    The pre-masters program at the UvA is very accessible and it gives you access to the Master’s program after completion in case you don’t manage to fit the education requirements for the master’s. The block system the University has, really helps to reduce the study load as you only take 1 or 2 courses per block (in case of the pre-master’s) leaving you a lot of free time to study and work if needed. UvA offers a lot of facilities for students. Overall a great University and program.
