What does Student for a day entail?

Several of our Bachelor’s programmes offer the opportunity to become a student for a day. You will shadow a current student, join them in attending an actual lecture or tutorial and there will be plenty of opportunity to ask them all your questions about the programme, the UvA or Amsterdam.

Who is it for?

Student for a day is intended for students in their final two years of their secondary school, who have preferably already attended the UvA Bachelor's Week. It is also helpful to familiarise yourself with the degree programme beforehand by for example downloading the brochure or studying the programme’s webpage.

When can I join?

Student for a day takes place between 1 October and 1 May. After registration, the programme will contact you within three weeks to set up a date. Some programmes offer Student for a day on fixed dates, which you can find in the application form below.
