• Check whether there is a valid exchange agreement between your home university and the University of Amsterdam. An overview of our partner universities with student exchange destinations can be found in the Digital World Map. The Faculty does not accept free-movers nor students from universities without a bilateral agreement and is not likely to start new exchange agreements.
• If you plan on taking courses taught in English during your exchange, please be aware that in order to be admitted to these courses, you must submit a sufficient result of an official English language test (native speakers are exempted). 

More information on the admission requirements can be found here.

Exchange students can choose courses from the complete range of study areas within the Humanities. Learn more about which courses are open to exchange students on both a Bachelor's and a Master's level here. 

• First, apply for the Exchange Programme at your home university. They will then nominate you to our Admissions and International Office Humanities.
