1. Enrol in Studielink

You can only apply for a minor with a valid UvA student number.

Are you a Bachelor's student at the UvA? Then make sure you have re-enrolled at the UvA for the academic year 2025-2026. You can do so from the beginning of May 2025 onwards. Read more about re-enrolment here.

If you are not a UvA student, you must register as an elective student at the UvA via Studielink. On this page, you can find out for which programme you need to register as an elective student and how this works.

Make sure you (re-)register with Studielink on time. This will ensure that you have a valid student number (UvAnetID) at the start of your minor appplication.

2. Enrol in the minor

The registration period for a minor in the academic year 2025-2026 will start in Spring 2025.

3. Enrol in the minor's courses

After you have filled out the application form via the link posted above, you will be notified regarding your placement within five workdays. If you have been accepted into the minor, you will still have to enrol in the minor's courses, too. Placement in the courses will be guaranteed if you have been accepted into the minor, and you register for courses during the course registration period . 

Cancelling your enrolment

If you decide not to do the minor after all, please always notify the Education Desk. If you have already finished some courses, the ECTS will remain valid. If you would like to add the course credits to your programme, please contact the Education Desk or your programme's Examinations Board.
