Political Science
Choosing the right study programme will increase your chance of being successful in your studies. For this reason, UvA Matching is an essential part of your enrollment in a Bachelor’s programme. You will get acquainted with the programme before you actually start studying. This way, you will be able to check your choice for a certain programme. Due to the Coronacrisis participation in UvA Matching is not mandatory this year, for students who wish to start the programme in September 2020. But it is strongly recommended to participate and see if the programme is right for you and to prevent you from making the wrong study choice.
If you have completed your prior education at a Dutch educational institution, please participate in the Dutch taught Matching Political Science. Due to the situation with the coronavirus the matching will only be online this year.
If you have completed your prior education abroad, please participate in the English taught online Matching.
