Step 1: Getting oriented

Start the process of familiarising yourself with the AUC programme by learning about the curriculum, which subjects you can study, what makes a major and residential life on campus, including a look in the student residences where all students live.

Step 2: Chat with students and join Open Day presentations

Now that you're familiar with the basics of the AUC programme it's time to dig into the details by chatting directly with students or attending an AUC Open Day event, or VU or UvA Bachelor Day presentation to get to know our campus and ask your questions to AUC lecturers, tutors and current students.

Step 3: More about admissions & attend a sample lecture

We understand that no two students are the same, and we want to give you the chance to ask our admissions team your individual questions. You should also take a moment to join a sample lecture, either online or on-campus, to better understand how course material is discussed in class and what you can expect as a future student.
