Please note: timetable changes may occur.

Apply for Open UvA Courses at least a week before the course registration period.

You can find more information about the course registration period on the student website. It is important that your application is received well ahead of the course registration period, as it takes time to process your application. If you apply at a later time, we cannot guarantee you a spot.

Please note: other than with a regular Bachelor’s or Master’s enrolment, you do not have to register for courses yourself. The Open UvA Courses staff will do this for you.

Bachelor's course

There is a very limited amount of Bachelor’s courses in English, as our Bachelor of Laws programmes are taught primarily in Dutch. To check whether you meet the entry requirements, please contact the Admissions Office.

Master's course

In order to be admitted to a Master’s course, you will need to meet the entry requirements of the entire Master’s programme it belongs to. Please go to the overview of Master’s programmes and select your programme to see if you meet the entry requirements.
