Bachelor's level

Nearly all courses at Bachelor's level are taught in Dutch; students who would like to take Bachelor's courses therefore need to be fluent in the Dutch language.

The Future Planet Studies programme is an exception. In the second year, this undergraduate programme consists of interdisciplinary English-taught subjects such as Food (semester 3) and Water (semester 4).

• Food and Natural Resources - Are we capable of producing sufficient food for the expanding world population? If so, what do we need to do to realize sustainable forms of food production, and prevent the depletion of our natural resources?
• Water Management & Water Supply - In view of the expected climate changes, it seems important to see how knowledge and expertise in water management can be effectively implemented. Considering the growing global demand, questions about how to govern the use and availability of drinking water deserve serious attention too.

Master's level

Nearly all Master's courses in Science are taught in English and are therefore open to exchange students. Visit the UvA Course Catalogue to search for courses.
