Student review [#18779] for Political Science
at University of Amsterdam - UvA

The programme is engaging, especially because of small classrooms (15-30 students) and plenty of group work. Lectures are moderately interactive and focus especially on the newest developments and trends in the field. The content of most materials and lectures is rather theoretical, sometimes I feel that we miss the connection to real-life cases. The lecturers try to compensate for this with more practically oriented assignments which increase your engagement with the learning material.
The workload is very manageable and a vibrant campus contributes to a pleasant student life experience.
Note: small classrooms apply to the Public Policy and Governance track, others (especially International Relations) may have larger student populations.
