All new international Master's degree students at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) are cordially invited to attend a special three-day introduction. The main purpose of this event is to prepare you for your forthcoming studies. Participants are divided into groups with others from the same field of study, as far as possible, and are led by UvA ‘Master Coaches'.

The Master’s Introduction is organised exlusively for students going for a full Master’s degree. The key component is the Master Symposium, focusing on how to make the most of your time at the UvA. Several lectures and workshops will be organised. 

Tickets for the Master's Introduction event cost €55 and include cultural awareness workshops, a film night with an introductory lecture, a crash course in Dutch, creative workshops and a canal cruise.
