Student review [#20364] for Media and Information
at University of Amsterdam - UvA

I am studying Media&Information which is a very broad program in terms of content and topics that it covers. In UvA it is a very international community and the university gives a lot of opportunities for socialising and meeting new people: like the introduction week in the beginning and even all of the group projects throughout the years. It is a very good program for people who would like to have extra time to decide in which direction to continue with their professional lives as it has 42 free credits meaning that one can choose electives or do a minor which could be from a different faculty as well to get those free credits.

However, you should be aware that the program is part of the Humanities Faculty and it is considered a Bachelor of Arts. This could be challenging if you later decide that you want to follow a Masters of Science program like Business, Marketing or other. If that’s the case then you would have to put an extra effort to cover the entry requirements like choosing the appropriate electives or just do a Pre-masters program.

Overall, it is a good program. It covers interesting and up to date topics. It gives you enough freedom to choose your own focus of the program and the workload is not too time-consuming. I recommend this program and this university.
