Student review [#58527] for Liberal Arts and Sciences
at University of Amsterdam - UvA

I have graduated from the Liberal Arts and Sciences programme, which is a joint degree at the University of Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. It is an honours programme with a strong international focus, which allows you to choose your own subjects between three disciplines (social sciences, sciences, and humanities). I really enjoyed the flexibility that this course gave me and the ability to broaden my knowledge in various disciplines. The international environment in the classroom was also very beneficial and made me feel very comfortable. However, the biggest disadvantage for me was the bureaucratic chaos (which partially is due to the fact that 2 institutions are involved in governing the programme). Sometimes it resulted in issues with the curriculum organization, problems with signing up for modules, or schedule clashes.
