What is UvA Matching?

UvA Matching is an online introduction to the Bachelor’s programme you applied for. It is designed to assess whether your chosen programme is a good fit for you and if you are making the right study choice. By participating in UvA Matching you get to know your study programme and you experience studying at the University of Amsterdam. UvA Matching is a mandatory part of your application procedure.

How does UvA Matching work? 

After you apply for the Bachelor's programme of your choice in Studielink, you will receive an email with your UvAnetID and information on how to complete your Enrolment Checklist. More information on how to apply for UvA Matching can be found on the checklist. You will do the UvA Matching in the language in which you have chosen your track.

At UvA Economics and Business, we offer online UvA Matching 4 times a year. During the matching round of your choice, you have 1 week to study the provided online materials at your own pace.  

You complete UvA Matching by taking an online test. The results of this test will be used to compose a personal study advice. This advice aims to help you make the right choice for next year. 

During UvA Matching you will engage in several study activities that will give you an idea of what to expect from the Bachelor’s programme. This includes: 

• Attending online lectures  
• Reviewing course materials 
• Finishing UvA Matching by taking 1 or 2 tests (depends on the programme) 
• A personal study advice (based on the test outcome)   

When will you participate?

We offer UvA Matching online from March to June once every month. There are 4 assigned periods in which you can complete UvA Matching, which we call rounds. We recommend all students to participate as early as possible due to enrolment procedures (visa, housing etc.). You can choose 1 of the following UvA Matching rounds:

Please note: if you apply for a scholarship at the UvA you can only participate in the 1st or the 2nd UvA Matching rounds in March or April. 

You will receive detailed login and practical information approximately 1 week before the start of your UvA Matching round.

Meet & Greet at the University (optional) 

Discover your future campus and meet your peers during the Meet & Greet in June. The exact date of this event will be announced later.
