Hello everyone,  

The second semester has started and, while the weather in Amsterdam is still quite chilly, sun rays have been hitting the campus, making it come alive once again with students.

In this newsletter, we highlight upcoming application deadlines and events and inform you about a decision recently made by the Dutch government that has an impact on international student recruitment. We also point out some matters that are relevant to prospective students, such as student wellbeing at VU Amsterdam.

Feel free to reach out to your contact person at VU Amsterdam if you have any questions with regards to these subjects. 

Best wishes,

Natascha Zwaan, Sharon Feijen, Sylvia van Glabbeek and Katerina Makri

Important deadlines

The application deadline for Bachelor’s programmes is approaching!

Bachelor’s application deadlines: 1 April (non-EU/EEA), 1 May (EU/EEA)

Please note that some programmes have earlier deadlines, so always make sure tocheck the programme page.

Visa application (deadline to upload required documents): 1 June
More about the application procedure
Universities asked to suspend active international student recruitment

Recently, there has been much discussion in parliament about the recruitment of international students by Dutch (public) institutions, particularly due to the housing situation in the country, i.e. the extreme difficulty in finding accommodation.

The ministry has asked that institutions take their public responsibility. Thus, most (public) institutions will not be participating in (large scale) recruitment events and will all be individually re-evaluating all other upcoming marketing activities, including the use of study choice platforms, agents and online campaigns in January, February and March 2023. Institutions differ in their approach, with some cancelling ads, reducing or stopping investments in study choice platforms and/or reassessing their agent portfolio to further limit their (active) recruitment.

Note that, although VU Amsterdam cannot actively recruit international students at the moment, we still more than welcome students to pursue their degrees at VU Amsterdam.

We hope and expect further information from Dutch government by the end of March that will provide guidance on our international marketing strategies from April onwards. If you have any questions about the situation, please do not hesitate to get in touch with your contact person at VU Amsterdam.

It’s that time when your students search for summer programs that tap into their interests and begin the next chapter in their lives of aligning them with their future career goals.

At Boston University Summer Journalism Academy (BUSJ), students not only have an opportunity to have award-winning working journalists, they also have the chance to experience Boston University and the city of Boston.

For 15 years, Boston University College of Communication has offered this program to teach high school students in-person and virtually core skills in news reporting, interviewing, and writing, focusing on hands-on experience in and around Boston and their home communities.

Our photojournalism program taught by former Boston Globe photographer, Steve Haines, prepares students, like Taylor Coester  (a BUSJ alum and now a BU student), to work alongside journalists in capturing the best photo for their stories. Parents and students enjoy hearing that no third-party vendors are involved, and they can experience an authentic pre-college experience at a college on their list.

For students living on-campus, they have the opportunity to:

  • Meet with a Boston University’s representative to discuss the college admissions process
  • Explore what it’s like living in a residence hall and studying in a university environment
  • Experience Boston museums, historical sites, and neighborhoods during their free time

Students decide if they would like to attend our program in-person or virtually. Our three-week on-campus session starts June 26. Our two-week virtual sessions begin June 19, July 3, and July 17.

If you have a student who wants a real college experience this summer and wants to pursue a communication degree, encourage them to learn more by visiting www.summerjournalism.org and applying soon, as limited seats are available for our in-person and virtual sessions.
