The Office of International Student Affairs (BIS) oversees and coordinates incoming student exchange programmes within the Global Exchange Programme. We offer many services to help you adjust to life in Amsterdam and make your stay at the UvA unforgettable.

Am I eligible to participate in the Global Exchange Programme?

If your home university has a current formal agreement with the UvA, you are eligible to apply to attend the UvA as an exchange student within the Global Exchange Programme. Please contact your home university’s exchange or international office to get officially nominated for the Global Exchange Programme.

If your home university does not have an agreement with the UvA, you will need to contact your university's exchange or international office and follow the procedures indicated by your home university.

The application process from start to finish
